You previously said that, but I really don't see any. Which way out
there exists that a) doesn't leave garbage after the relation is dropped
or renamed b) is properly dumped by pg_dump c) is properly integratable
with cache invalidations.
c) is hackable by manually sending cache invalidations from C code when
changing the associated information, and by using a relcache callback
for cache invalidation, but the others really aren't solveable right now
afaics.

I agree that this happens occasionally, but I don't really see evidence
of it in this case. We seem to be discussing the merit of the patch
itself, not the scheduling of a eventual commit.
