Well, it might be unwanted if you're on a pay-per-bit connection such as
3G, but in this case, it just makes the problem a bit worse than the
server keepalive already makes it – it doesn't introduce a new problem.

If you were (ab)using postgres as an IPC mechanism, I could see it being
useful, but not in the normal case.
