So, apparently I'm not wrong about my concern, but no one seems to share
my feelings on this change.
I continue to hold that this could end up being a slippery slope for us
to go down wrt 'correctness' vs. 'do whatever the user wants'. If we
keep this to only COPY and where the table has to be truncated/created
in the same transaction (which requires the user to have sufficient
privileges to do non-MVCC-safe things on the table already), perhaps
it's alright. It'll definitely reduce the interest in finding a real
solution though, which is unfortunate.
Thanks,
Stephen
