I'd just like to add that some 3rd party applications/interfaces make
use of OIDs, as a convenient id to use if there is no primary key (or if
the 3rd party software doesn't take the time to find the primary key).
One might argue that those 3rd party applications/interfaces are broken,
but you still might want to keep OIDs around in case you have a use for
one of those pieces of software.
Regards,
Jeff
