Uhm, Peter G just said that Heroku enables this on all their databases
and have yet to see a false-positive report or an issue with having it
enabled.

That, plus the reports and evidence we've seen in the past couple days,
look like a pretty ringing endorsement for having them.

I'll ping the RDS crowd and see if they'll tell me what they're doing
and what their thoughts are on it.

Thanks!

Stephen
