The question is whether we should have a GUC variable to control no waiting on locks or add NO WAIT to specific SQL commands.
Does anyone want to vote _against_ the GUC idea for nowait locking. (We already have two voting for such a variable.)
If there is no one except Tom, we can continue.
This strikes me as a very broad-brush approach. I suspect that even if we did not cause major breakage we would end up wanting to go back and implement the finer grained per command mechanism.
So I'm not in favor - always open to persuasion, of course ;-)
