The decision to add the magic "99/100" number was made without any 
such analysis either, and I can assure you it has caused lots of real-world 
problems. Going from 10 to 100 adds a small amount of planner overhead. The 
99/100 change adds an order of magnitude speed difference to SELECT queries.
I still cannot see that as anything other than a major performance regression.
