I say I don't like this at all.

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, you can just do WHERE true to get
around it, so why on Earth have it PGC_SUSET?

I would rather, if we need nannying at all, have a threshold of number
of rows affected.  So if your update or delete exceeds that threshold,
the query will be canceled.
