Yeah, that's not happening.

Just eyeing the patch again, it seems like most of the test-output churn
is from a decision to make printing of planner options be on-by-default;
which is also what creates the buildfarm-variant-options hazard.  So
I suggest reconsidering that.  TBH, even without the regression test
angle, I suspect that such a change would receive a lot of pushback.
It's a pretty big delta in the verbosity of EXPLAIN, and it is frankly
of no value to a lot of people a lot of the time.
