This is a known shortcoming of the choice "review", yes.

There's several arguments against that:

- it generates excessive amounts of rows
- it doesn't really help as it doesn't really record *who* did *what*
- whatever *can* be recorded (eg a particular query was run against
  the database) can already be done from within the postgresl server log

Started. Feel free to point out places where this needs to
