This is exactly the position I was characterizing as an excessively
narrow-minded attachment to backwards compatibility.  We are trying to
make the behavior better (as in less confusing), not guarantee that it's
exactly the same. 

If we are only allowed to change the behavior by
throwing errors in cases where we previously didn't, then we are
voluntarily donning a straitjacket that will pretty much ensure Postgres
doesn't improve any further.
