Indeed, I think that we can drop the patch. FWIW, I find the semantics of pg_get_userbyid() horrible when it comes to return a result for a non-existing user with its own way of defining how this information should show up. Returning NULL would be more natural, so I don't think that we should make more functions behave the same way. -- Michael
