Developer options:
-f s|i|n|m|h forbid use of some plan types
That doesn't include all the options we support, the documentation
lists: s|i|o|b|t|n|m|h. These are aliases for enable_* planner
options, e.g -fs is equal to enable_seqscan=off.
That seems completely useless to me, because you can also do "-c
enable_seqscan=off". Any objections to removing the -f option altogether?
I knew about it. But - I never needed it and I always scroll over it
when I show --help in my trainings.
When I was young - some when in last century - I learned that you never
should remove a feature without pre-announcing it as deprecated.
I think it is better to mark it deprecated in 9.2 and totally remove it
in 9.3.
