Seriously? First, not sure why this would put the whole release cycle 
back by 'several weeks'. Second, this is removing functionality, so what 
are apps supposed to do - have a three-choice case in the code to handle 
pg_am for < 9.6, do some ugly parsing for 9.6, and use the new functions 
when 10.0 comes out?! This issue was raised on July 25th, and the OP has 
gone out of his way to present the case and provide patches. It's hardly 
fair to discard it now.
