I'm dubious. The main problem with supposing that port->md5Salt
can serve other purposes is its fixed size. I think you're likely
going to have to change that representation at some point (eg
make it a separately-palloc'd field). My inclination would be to
do the field renaming at the same time you change the representation,
since that provides a convenient way to ensure you've caught every
place that has to change.
