Hmm ... you can certainly drop the public schema if you want, but that
just means that you have to put your tables into some other schema.

It sounds to me like the real problem is with non-schema-aware client
software. I think your options are to fix that, or downgrade to a
non-schema-aware database (eg. Postgres 7.2 or before).
