I have no objection, but I'm curious, when retiring a datatype and
associated functions, do the Oids that were assigned to them become
available for new uses, or do you have to expire them to avoid breaking
pg_upgrade and such? Retiring built-in types and functions seems
rare enough that I've not seen how this is handled before.
