I have no problem making it superuser-only, and I can see making "on" be

the default.  I am not opposed to removing it completely either, if we

really think that the current behavior is no longer useful for anybody.

I'm in favor of removing the GUC of course, but if memory serves there

were some folks in the patch discussion thread, who claimed they would

need to be able to keep non-squashed behavior. I don't recall if there were

particular arguments to support that, will try to find those messages again.
