That would be a truly awful idea.

I think the right answer for Kevin's situation really is to be doing a
dummy transaction every few minutes as one component of his system
monitoring.  That way he gets the behavior he wants, and it needn't
preclude us from fixing the default behavior to be less wasteful.
