No! Trying to solve the problem that majority doesn't have or can solve 
in different way by shifting the whole system out of balance is really a 
bad idea. Linus or Jim Starkey would send any such proposal promptly and 
colourfully to the place it deserve - a tenth circle of hell.

Better solution is to provide a method to monitor transactions (for 
example through temporary system tables like in IB7), so anyone 
interested can write a small monitor app. that will kill the long 
transaction or far better page the sysadmin's beeper.
