How will delaying 7.3 remedy either of these issues?

Now that bison 1.50 is out, this should probably be "upgrade bison on
postgresql.org, merge ecpg branch".

Can someone summarize what the consensus on this issue is? I can take
a look at implementing it, I just lost track of what the final
conclusion was...

Why do we need this for 7.3?

Conclusion was to return last INSTEAD rule with the same tag as the
original query.

It is probably something we should have in the release where we are
adding schemas, but it is not required.
