This argument, at least, is bogus. See my original comments to Josh:
it is not credible that these views will be significantly more stable
than the underlying catalogs. We don't change the catalogs on whims;
we change them because we have to in order to make some significant
improvement in functionality. For instance, if this nested-schema
idea goes in, the proposed views will have to change, or else become
useless for most of the purposes they are being touted for.
