Do you consider "vacuum analyze" on the regression database to be
off the beaten path? How about creating an index on a numeric column
that contains NaNs, or a timestamp column that contains Invalid?
Unless you believe these values are not being used in the field at all,
there's a problem. (And if you do believe that, you shouldn't be
worried about my changing their behavior ;-))
