I think this is the second decennial thread [0] for removing this GUC. This topic came up at PGCon, so I thought I'd start the discussion on the lists. I'm personally not aware of anyone using this parameter. A couple of my colleagues claimed to have used it in the aughts, but they also noted that users were confused by the current implementation, and they seemed generally in favor of removing it. AFAICT the strongest reason for keeping it is that there is presently no viable replacement. Does this opinion still stand? If so, perhaps we can look into adding a viable replacement for v17. The attached patch simply removes the GUC.
