I used to consider it a neat hack. After some time with the internals,
some fun explicitly disabling it within DBIC since it sometimes broke our
reconnect code, and even then discovering I could often solve client mod_perl
problems by removing the line that loaded it from httpd.conf, I reclassified
it was 'awful'.
So from where I'm standing, it's not an exaggeration at all.
I guess if you're not using something with smart reconnect logic like
DBIC, it's a different matter. I can't figure out where the equivalent code
is in RDBO so I've no idea how intelligent it is.
