I wondered whether to bother about this kind of thing for a while. It
doesn't have any practical impact immediately, because obviously
pg_list.h is still included indirectly by objectaddress.h (via lock.h in
this case IIRC). If we made some restructuring that caused the other
header not to include pg_list.h anymore, that would make objectaddress.h
broken -- unless objectaddress.h itself no longer needed pg_list.h.
We've had in previous rounds whole iterations on a "pgrminclude" script
that does this kind of thing, but the breakage after each such run is
large.
All in all, I wouldn't bother unless there is an actual change.
