Hmm. I don't think this is solving any real problem, is it? You're
just adding backward compatibility code to the C files that doesn't
really need to be there. I don't think it's particularly confusing
that the extension version might sometimes get bumped without changing
the SRF columns.

Another problem with this change is that dropping and redefining the
view will prevent anyone who has a dependency on the view from being
able to update to the latest extension. It doesn't seem like a wise
idea to force that on users unnecessarily.

(I am sorry you are unsatisfied, though. I didn't feel a need to post
a detailed review of each of these many patches on the relevant
thread, because they are mostly pretty boilerplate.)
