Perhaps you meant "demote" rather than "degrade" ? That would be a better fit (an external action that does not necessarily make the object worse or less useful), and less vague, but it still carries a negative connotation.
"demote" sounds fine to me, especially since its antonym "promote" may be used for a function name to raise an expression's rank for the query planner rather than the 2nd argument. The negative connotation of both "degrade" and "demote" does not feel bad for me as a non native English speaker. Both, however, express an action rather than a quality which is more telling to me than "unlikely" or the other adjectives suggested so far. Maybe the function name could be prefixed by "qp_" (for query planner) or similar to clarify their functionality even more: "qp_demote" and "qp_promote"?
