While we accept that visibility map is good for read only application, why
can't we make it optional? Atleast if there is a way for a person to drop
the visibility map for a table(if it gets created by default), the
application need not incur the overhead for those tables, when it knows it
is update intensive / with batch jobs.

Again not to deviate from my initial question, can we make a decision
regarding unstable/mutable functions / broken data types ?

Thanks,
Gokul.
