I'm still scared to death of the security implications, but if we don't
do it now, when will be a better time? Might as well try it and see
what breaks. Note there had better be a large compatibility warning in
the alpha release notes, and we had better pester driver authors to test
with 9.1alpha1 as soon as it's out.

Any reason not to add a line to the 9.0 docs/release notes saying
"WARNING: The PGDG currently plan to change this setting's default in 9.1"?

Yeah. Our track record for predicting in the version-N docs what
changes will be made in version N+1 is spectacularly bad; we should
not try that here, even if the change is being made before 9.0 actually
goes final. There is already a statement that the default will change
"in a future release", and that seems sufficient to me.

Well, mostly that we could change our mind if it makes too big a boom. And it's not as if we could go back and update everyone's docs after-the-fact. I agree we need some press, but the docs are not the right vehicle.
