Let's vote. I'm proposing optional oids for 2-3 years,
so you know how I'll vote -:)

How?! If we want to find function with oid X we query
pg_proc, if we want to find table with oid Y we query
pg_class - we always use oids in context of "class"
to what an object belongs. This means that two tuples
from different system tables could have same oid values
and everything would work perfectly.

There is no magic around OIDs.
