That's part of what makes Postgres so stable, in fact.
I still fail to see how this added function could pose a problem. It
does, however, fix a bug - make that a missing, undocumenterd feature -
that causes the aubit application to break.
Arguably, it is aubit that is/was buggy in relying on the undocumented
"feature".
I don't think this particular change poses a great danger, but I do
think it's a bad precedent.
Anyway, I've said my piece, and don't want to take it further.
