Agreed. But isn't it too late to remove the columns (i.e., change
the catalog) for v13? Because v13 beta1 was already released.
IIUC the catalog should not be changed since beta1 release so that
users can upgrade PostgreSQL without initdb.
Catalog bumps have happened in the past between beta versions:
git log -p REL_12_BETA1..REL_12_BETA2 src/include/catalog/catversion.h
git log -p REL_11_BETA1..REL_11_BETA2 src/include/catalog/catversion.h
git log -p REL_10_BETA1..REL_10_BETA2 src/include/catalog/catversion.h
So we usually avoid to do that between betas, but my take here is that
a catalog bump is better than regretting a change we may have to live
with after the release is sealed.
Sounds reasonable.
