I read them, but I suspect they are issues that can be addressed.  How
would any of this affect join removal, anyway?  At most it would
affect join removal WHEN USING SE-PostgreSQL, but I don't even see why
it would affect that.  We've already decided we're not overly
concerned with covert channels, and the user being able to discern
that a join got removed is surely no more than that.

Furthermore, as covert channels go, it seems unlikely to be the one
that breaks the bank.
