Here is an analysis of our options:
                         Work required             Disadvantages
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep current system       no work                   rename/create no rollback

relname/oid but           less work                 new pg_class column,
no rename change                                    filename not accurate on
      rename
 

relname/oid with          more work                 complex code
rename change during      
vacuum

oid filename              less work, but            confusing to admins                         need admin tools
