Folks,

We have some really silly legacy stuff in PostgreSQL, the silliest of
which, as far as I've found, is the add_missing_from GUC.

Since it's been deprecated, as in off by default, since 8.1, I'd like
to suggest that we remove it from both docs and code and throw an
error if someone tries to set it, just as if they'd set
add_flying_spaghetti_monster.

What say?

Cheers,
David.
