With the new dependency system we have the entire system catalog content pinned down and unchangeable. This is a tiny dent in the nice extensible nature of the system.
Would it be feasible to identify the non-essential parts of the built-in objects (say, inet type, numeric type, associated functions, etc.) and declare those with regular SQL commands in initdb? In the end, the system catalog contents in include/catalog/ would only contain the "bootstrap" content. For example, the pg_proc content could be made more manageable that way. Not sure if this is worth considering for this release, but it might be a medium-term project.
