The two oldest reports look like the submitters had operator_precedence_warning turned on in normal use, which is reasonable given that was early 9.5.x days. The third one looks like it was a test setup, while the latest bug sounds like it was found by code inspection not by stumbling over the misbehavior. So people did use it, at least for awhile. But anyone who's going directly from 9.4 or earlier to v14 is going to have lots more compatibility issues to worry about besides precedence. regards, tom lane
