Right.

I was responding to the entire thread that was headed in the direction 
of saying that just because a language doe not have a trusted PL 
version, it should be removed.

As others have said, I find myself using PL/pgSQL when I need trusted, 
and frequently use other languages when I need untrusted. And in most of 
my experience, I don't even care if the language is trusted or 
untrusted. There are plenty of use cases for both.
