Wrote one program a while ago that was very time sensitive. By the time
deadlock detection had been kicked off, the data was already invalid and
due to be replaced -- thus, it's impossible to have deadlocks with the
chosen design for that application.

The point is, PostgreSQL is fairly versatile and is a component of many
different environments. Method X might be great for what you're doing,
but it doesn't apply across the board.

The regex GUC doesn't impact a majority of applications either, but it
proved catastrophic to some.
