It's a bit premature to declare victory on that front.  If Alvaro
doesn't finish the shared-dependencies patch in time, we are going
to have to continue the old kluge of letting people assign a sysid
(which would now be interpreted as assigning an OID).  Otherwise
there's no way to recover fully from dropping a user who still owns
objects.
