Right.

Nonsense.

regression=# create view bar as select * from foo;
CREATE VIEW
regression=# insert into bar values (1);
ERROR:  cannot insert into a view
HINT:  You need an unconditional ON INSERT DO INSTEAD rule.
regression=#

The only backwards-compatibility risk I see is if there's a manually
created ON-whatever rule; this probably has to override the automatic ones.
