Perhaps it should be, but as PostgreSQL picks up more and more vendor
applications this is difficult for the person administrating the
database.

Consider a 3rd party application which has the issue but the support
contract is such that you cannot affect the application itself (their
support staff deals with it).

If you need connections in the database for other applications and this
3rd party program is idling on several slots...
