Comment(by jomarlla):

 ST_Makevalid is making st_dumpaspolygons much slower. Dont know if it is
 worth it to do it at the source. I was wondering if the algorithm can be
 changed for not making invalid polygons instead of using st_makevalid
 without a lot of work.

 I just dont like invalid polygons because they just bother me about any
 future spatial analysis about unpredictable results.
 As you said users can do it easily but in that case maybe the docs should
 point out that st_dumpaspolygons can return invalid geometries, then the
 user can take care about that.
