Comment(by robe):

 mjurce,

 That would just cover under the blankets any issues.  That's more like a
 workaround or something that should be done by the user.

 For example with ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology the tolerance you would want
 depends on spatial ref so we can't hard code something there. Nor do I
 think we should cause you might not want any simplification.

 As far as ST_MakeValid that does have the issue of giving you something
 you don't want.  So I think those types of solutions should be left up to
 the discretion of the user.
