I think we all agree about that, but some people may be depending on
that bug.

Are you OK with escape-hatch GUCs that allow the user to opt for v12
behavior in the event that they experience a regression?
The one for the planner is already there, and it looks like we need one
for the executor as well (to tell HashAgg to ignore the memory limit
just like v12).
