If I'm not mistaken, I had disabled them already. Why were they re- 
enabled? Sysop SQL queries are a bad, bad idea until we have timeouts.  
Yes, openness is good, but wikis work because users cannot do any lasting  
damage. Open SQL queries without timeouts are like a wiki without a page  
history.
