RE: rm RULE based optimizer != GOOD IDEA

Oh, it's not a bug. Oracle told us 10 years ago that RBO was going away.
When a feature goes away, it no longer requires either support or regression
testing.

Which brings us back to the Lex de Haan's point about regression 
testing. He sad something to the effect
that we have no idea about the way that Oracle Corp. is testing its 
product when they allow such disastrous
bugs to slip through. I believe that Oracle is using faith-based testing 
algorithms. All we need is to have faith
and bugs will be gone.
