It was in 8.1. I didn't verify whether it affects on 8.0; I think we
separated the shared tables in pgstats in 8.1, with the advent of
autovacuum, so I assume it doesn't. The patch doesn't apply cleanly to
8.0 anyway, and I decided not to spent much time on it seeing that
nobody has noticed it in years.

I don't think so, unless you were counting on pgstats data of shared
tables for something. The optimizer, for one, doesn't, so I doubt it
would affect query planning. And it would only affect you if your
queries were using shared tables, which I very much doubt ...
