Well, that's a radical proposal, but I think we should take it seriously.

On balance I think I agree that SSL renegotiation has not been worth the
trouble.  And we definitely aren't testing it adequately, so if we wanted
to keep it then there's even *more* work that somebody ought to expend.

I assume we'd back-patch it, too?  (Probably not remove the
ssl_renegotiation_limit variable, but always act as though it were zero.)
If we still have to maintain the code in the back branches then we'd
continue to have to deal with its bugs for some time.
        regards, tom lane
