I think the proper amount of effort to rename existing system catalog
columns is zero.

Also, I think it's pretty difficult to change column names on views that
have already been released.  The compatibility break for existing tools
is just too large.

A valuable service would be to ensure that any new views, and new
columns on existing views, have sensible names.
