Right, because the behavior wouldn't actually change.

I'm starting to lean in the same direction --- the current plpgsql
behavior with the GUC 'on' is sufficiently broken that it seems unlikely
anyone is doing much with plpgsql and that setting.

It still remains that actually flipping the default would probably
provoke lots of breakage, but plpgsql's current behavior doesn't
help that.
