I think what he meant is tracking plans during the planning process. Currently at the end of each step you weed out all the plans that arn't the best for each path-key. To track multiple results at that stage would be expensive. However, just running the planner over the same query multiple times with different estimates shouldn't be too expensive to store. However, you're discussing the process of replanning based on changes in variables. At the moment we really need to work on replanning generally, it isn't done at all currently...
