Well, we've been using it in hundreds of databases as our standard
setting in postgresql.conf since February, 2006.  We've used pg_dump
with it many hundreds of times, and tens of millions of JDBC
transactions per day since then.  We use psql heavily, too.  Not a
single sign of problems with it.  Surely that bumps the needle above
"little or no field testing".  Certainly there are PLs and PostgreSQL
features we don't use which should be tested first, but let's not
overstate the case.

That sounds sane.
