As there seems to be an agreement with this direction, I think it is
better to commit the patch in this release (before RC1) to avoid users
seeing any behavior change in a later release. If the proposed
behavior for one of the cases (disallowing adding schemas to a
publication when specifying column-lists) turns out to be too
restrictive for users, we can make it less restrictive in a future
release. I am planning to commit the current patch [1] tomorrow unless
RMT or anyone else thinks otherwise.
