AFAICT, the state of play on that is that it was reverted out of the
non-devel branches immediately before the October releases (9.3.1
et al), on the grounds that it still seemed to be a moving target, cf
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/1381193255.25702.4.camel@vanquo.pezone.net

I've not seen any further work on PGXS since commit eebdea08b, so maybe
that complaint is no longer valid? On the other hand, dddc91ddd leaves
the impression that all is not yet well in PGXS-land.

The Debian guys do seem remarkably willing to apply patches that
upstream doesn't trust yet, don't they.

Anyway, my opinion about this one is it's not a regression and therefore
not a blocker, but I have no objection to fixing it in the back branches
once we have consensus that the fix is stable.
