I did a request for vote on -hackers, and it came out to WITHOUT OIDs:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&frame=right&th=c14f51a48c98556f&seekm=26426.1042744046%40sss.pgh.pa.us#link1

But, Peter has since suggested we may want to make OIDs a user column
and simply drop it as a system column -- which I prefer, but don't have
time to complete anytime soon.
