I can't believe anyone is going to stop tracking their DDL because,
ooh goody, now we have pg_class.creation_time.  They will look at and
say either "oh, this is nice" or "oh, this is useless" and go on about
their business.

I try pretty hard not to shoot myself in the foot.  But if someone
comes up to me and offers me some shoes that are have the same cost,
appearance, comfort-level, and durability as regular shoes but are
slightly more bullet resistant, should I refuse them on principle?
Why?
