Well, yes, as long as you leave the choice to the users. Restricting 
choice will make users go for native APIs. Choice is important for 
performance reasons.

What should be considered is a sensible default. The PDO mantra seems to 
be on security not on performance (otherwise I've no idea why the 
broken-by-design PS emulation is in use). Therefore, I agree with you 
that in general implicit clean ups are good.
