At this point I'd have to vote against enabling by default in 9.6. The
fact that in the past week we've found bugs as bad as e1a93dd6a does not
give me a warm fuzzy feeling about the parallel-query code being ready
for prime time.
Of course the question is how do we ever get to that point if we chicken
out with enabling it by default now. Maybe we could keep it turned on
in HEAD.
