Yes. And I think this one should be held to the same standard: \d
mydb.myschema.mytable not working is potentially a real, practical
problem. \d sdlgkjdss.dsgkjsk.sdgskldjgds.myschema.mytable not working
isn't.

Well my view is that having the same bugs is better than having
different ones, but fixing the bugs is superior to either.
