Would a parameter to auto terminate long running transactions be a better solution? Terminating the long running transaction would allow for the normal vacuuming process to cleanup the deleted records thus avoiding database bloat without introducing new semantics to Postgres's MVCC. I would also recommend that the default be disabled.
