Depends what it'd do. If it would disconnect you, well then, very
bad. If it would just send a warning ("mismatched psq & postgres:
some features may not work"), well, nothing wrong with that. It
might cut down on the questions and such. But if it disables you
completely, well, ug. No functionality is certainly worse than
limited functionality.
