Sorry for having lost track of this. I think if we're going to do this,
we should do it now not later, because it essentially reverts the
connectDatabase() API change made in 83dec5a71 in favor of a different API
change with the same purpose. Now, that doesn't matter if no third-party
code is using connectDatabase(), but I have a suspicion that there
probably is some. Any such users will not thank us for whacking
connectDatabase's API around in 9.5 and then whacking it around
differently in 9.6.
In short, I think we should apply this now and back-patch into 9.5,
like the prior patch, even though we're post-RC1. The reduction in
cross-version API churn is worth it.
If no objections, I'll go do that shortly.
regards, tom lane
