No, it's a fix.   

TRUNCATE, VACUUM, ANALYZE, and REINDEX all perform COMMIT statements as part 
of their operation.   If called within a function, this could cause part of 
the function to be committed while the rest failed, or even cause a fatal 
error.   

As such, these statements have been deliberately disabled within PL/pgSQL and 
SQL functions.
