Having been victim of ABI incompatibility myself, I loathe giving too
much priority to other issues that can be resolved in other ways, so I
don't necessarily support your view on bugs.
That said, I think in this case it shouldn't be a problem, so I'm going
to work on that next.
I haven't got around to creating the abidiff reporting system yet ...

Thanks. I just tested that the attached patch does the intended. (I
named it "autovac" but obviously the DISCARD part is not about
autovacuum). I intend to push this patch first, and later backpatch the
other one.
