[HACKERS] Time to remove dummy autocommit GUC?

[Tom Lane]

There's a thread over in pgsql-admin
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/1317404836.812502.1415174912912.javamail.ya...@jws11120.mail.ir2.yahoo.com
suggesting that the server-side autocommit GUC causes more confusion
than it's worth, because newbies think it should reflect the state of
client-side autocommit behavior.

We left that variable in there back in 7.4, on backward-compatibility
grounds that were a bit debatable even then.  ISTM that by now we could
just flat-out remove it.  Surely no client-side code is still looking
at it.

Thoughts, objections?

regards, tom lane

+1.

I thought we had already removed it years ago :-)
