During implementation of the transaction_timeout we briefly considered prepared xacts, but decided that it's a footgun.
DBA can easily do the same with a cron job, but in case of prepared transactions monitoring is crucial. Prepared xacts
areused to coordinate commit in many durable systems and orphan prepared xact is evidence of serious malfunction.
Silent rollback in any scenario I can imagine is a disaster.
