The proposal is for an option with no consequences when turned off. We
respect your right not to use it. What is the danger exactly?
If we cancel stupid queries before people run them, everybody is a
winner. Even the person who submitted the stupid query, since they find
out faster.
Sure, its an estimate, but it's got to be a based upon an estimate if it
acts *before* it runs. And surely there is no better estimate of the
cost than the plan cost?
It doesn't stop anyone from putting in resource limits, later.
We'll have to do something with enable_seqscan, BTW, chaps.
