I dont think anyone is arguing that such an application is not
broken. We should see how we can stop a developer from writing buggy
code.
IMO, such a GUC variable _should_ be created and turned on by default.
In case an application fails, at the least, the developer knows
that his application is broken; then he can choose to turn off the GUC
variable to let the old behaviour prevail (he might want to do this to
let a production env. continue).
In the absence of such a feature, we are encouraging developers to
write buggy code. This GUC variable can be removed and the behaviour
can be made default over the next couple of releases.
My two paise...

You missed my point. I don't say that such a GUC won't be useful, but
applications which
don't care about what they are currently doing with a database are broken.
