Where are we on this? When this topic was last discussed, the three
alternatives were:
(1) Modify contrib/adminpack to not use the pg_catalog schema,           per the consensus that contrib/ packages
installingobjects           into that schema is broken behavior
 
(2) Don't modify contrib/adminpack, for the sake of backward           compatibility
(3) Remove contrib/adminpack from the Postgres distribution

I think the discussion was edging toward #3, but #2 is the only option
that I'm not happy with. Any other opinions out there?
