I think the major argument against "just change it" is that we do not
wish to force an initdb now for beta testers, but if we don't there
is always going to be this niggling doubt about how an alleged "8.4"
installation will actually behave. Although I previously suggested
we could live with that, on reflection I don't think that the problem
is important enough to justify it. The information_schema has had
this issue since day one, and we hadn't gotten complaints before.
So pushing it to 8.5 seems the best decision to me.
