No chance whatever during RC stage. We might have listened to such a
proposal in August, but it's not happening now. Especially not when
you don't even have the patch yet ;-). (FWIW, given the infrastructure
we have, I don't really see any way to enforce uniqueness except to
merge pg_shadow and pg_group into one table. So it's not going to be
a trivial change.)

Yes. There have been one or two such revisions that didn't require a
dump, but I doubt 8.1 will be one of them.
