I think "bad" and "good" are pretty irrelevant myself.  The system tables are 
very "good" at what they do: support the postgresql code base.  They are not 
*meant* to be user-friendly.   That's why we need a different "interface" to 
be "good" for a different purpose.  Which is what we're trying to do.
