However, a larger reason for not applying that patch in a rush is that
it's almost certainly not up to speed for the recent extensions-related
changes. Please note in particular that we are now expecting the
update-from-unpackaged script to produce the same catalog state as the
install script. I just committed fixes to btree_gist's scripts to make
that actually true. Any new additions to the opclasses will need to be
done in the same style.
