Wont fixing rtree(_gist) require initdb, since the behaviour of the
operators will change?

Possibly, but we never guarantee no initdb until final release anyway.

Teodor is right that this is a bug fix and so can be postponed on its
own terms. But moving rtree_gist into the core looks like a feature
change to me, so if that's going to happen it has to happen before
1 July. It would be a lot easier to sell that if it gave the right
answers ;-)

Of course given that the real rtree index gives the wrong answers perhaps
moving rtree_gist into core (after fixing this) is just a bug fix :)
