But whouldn't a patch script be enough for this change? A few insert with
fixed oid commands would do it. No initdb needed, and the oid numbers
could be taken from what will be used for 7.3.

The script would need to make sure there isn't already something at that
oid, and that it hadn't been run already. But nothing should get inserted
with oids in the reserved space anyway. :-)

Take care,
