Right, I doubt that changing that is going to work out well.
Hash joins might have issues with it too.

Could it work to make the patch force child cleanup before parent,
instead of after?  Or would that break other places?

On the whole though I think it's probably a good idea to leave
parent nodes in control of the timing, so I kind of side with
your later comment about whether we want to change this at all.
