Maybe it makes sense to have a distinction between client programs and
server programs. Can we have src/sbin/ and move stuff that involves the
server side in there? I think that'd be pg_xlogdump, pg_archivecleanup,
pg_upgrade, pg_test_timing, pg_test_fsync. (If we were feeling bold we
could also move pg_resetxlog, pg_controldata and initdb there.)
(For pg_upgrade you also need to do something about pg_upgrade_support,
which is good because that is one very ugly crock.)
I agree that oid2name and vacuumlo need to be in a better state to
deserve their promotion to src/bin, if we keep them at all.
In any case I support the move out of contrib of everything except
vacuumlo and oid2name, for reasons already stated by others in the
thread.
