You misunderstand.
My suggestion was to set add_missing_from _in the output of pg_dump_ (or
pg_restore) so that affected views would restore correctly. This would affect
only the session in which the dump was restored. The changes that were already
suggested (and since implemented, iiuc) would then make this unnecessary for
future dumps/restores, and there would be no question of setting
add_missing_from globally in the 8.1 database (unless the admin did that
explicitly, themselves).
