Maybe not, but at the very least we should consider getting it fixed in
9.5 rather than waiting a full development cycle. Same as in
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20150428131549.GA25925@momjian.us
I'm not saying we MUST include it in 9.5, but we should at least
consider it. If we simply stash it in the open CF we guarantee that it
will linger there for a year.
