Here is an analysis of our options:

Work required Disadvantages
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep current system no work rename/create no rollback

relname/oid but less work new pg_class column,
no rename change filename not accurate on
rename

relname/oid with more work complex code
rename change during
vacuum

oid filename less work, but confusing to admins
need admin tools
