Right - when I said remove, I meant for all but system catalogs. I
would think those are generally small enough that for most people
the lack of index-only scans on those would not matter. Heck, the
system catalogs are already "special" in lots of ways other than
having OIDs (most anyway), so it's not as though we'd be breaking
sacred ground with an index-only exception. :)
I guess the question that should be asked is "we are going to finally
remove OIDs someday, right?". If so, and if it's potentially blocking a
major new feature, why not now?
