If an extension is doing that, it is probably constructing tuples to put
into the catalog, which means it'd be equally (and much more quietly)
broken by any change to the catalog's schema. We've never considered
such an argument as a reason not to change catalog schemas, though.
In short, I've got mighty little sympathy for that argument.
(I'm a little more concerned by Alvaro's apparent position that WARM
is a done deal; I didn't think so. This particular change seems like
good cleanup anyhow, however.)
