+Hello,
+
+while there have been suggested some hacks on the system catalog
+for disabling/enabling triggers, these have two serious disadvantages:
+
+ - they cannot be done by the owner of the trigger
+   (only the DBA has write access to the system catalog)
+ - messing in the system catalog for simple DB schema changes makes
+   most users feel uneasy
+
+Oracle has an SQL command "ALTER TRIGGER triggername DISABLE|ENABLE".
+Were it possible to put this command on the TODO list for a future PG release?
+
+Thanks,
+
+Christoph Dalitz
