What is it about this that's so complex? It's not like it could
impinge on previous functionality, at least at the SQL level.

People are, by the way, allowed to commit patches outside of CFs. I
had submitted it imagining that its triviality would allow this, which
is why it got into the CF late in the first place.

I'm thinking that given all these givens, we should make the best of
it with more CF in March. We don't want a repeat of the "last-minute
giant change" anti-pattern, and even if we're releasing 9.1 in July,
three months plus is plenty of time to shake things out.
