If we're going to do that, there doesn't seem to me to be a lot of point
in adjusting the column's contents in 9.3 --- the argument for doing
that was mostly forward compatibility with some future actual usage of
the column. I'd be more inclined to leave HEAD as-is and then do the
column-ectomy along with this removal of dead code in 9.4.
