Is this something a potential 7.1.3 release might need? I consider this a
bug workaround, actually. Or even a feature patch against 7.1.x that people
can download if they think they need it?

As PostgreSQL gets used in bigger and bigger database installations, the
wraparound problems become more and more likely. And it's likely to be at
least six months before 7.2beta, if the track record stays the same as it has
the last three releases.
