If you have to have OIDs at all, its a lot better than a 32 bit number. I
think it would be easier to switch to 64 bit OIDs than ditch them
completely.
The "serial" type should definitely be 64 bit. To make matters worse I
believe its really only a 31 bit number as the plus/minus symbol is
discarded. But I think moving to 64 bit will take place soon enough, when
it needs to, and it should shut everyone up.

Is it just me, or are there a lot of Christian PostgreSQL users? ;-) (I'm
not knocking it, I'm one too..)
