Well, you know, there is some method in our madness. We'd like to see
more people develop the skills to work on Postgres, and the above is how
you do it. (How do you think the core developers learned?) If we did
all the "easy" stuff because it was easy, there'd be no appropriate
projects for new developers to tackle.
Which is not to say that DROP COLUMN is easy; it's not.
