In my personal testing, I've been unable to observe a significant
performance impact (as Tom mentioned, I tried getting some profiling
data with gprof + pgbench, and found that increasing NAMEDATALEN made
things *faster*). Whether that is enough of an endorsement to make
the change for 7.3, I'm not sure...

Until someone takes the time to determine what the performance
implications of this change will be, I don't think we should
change this. Given that no one has done any testing, I'm not
convinced that there's a lot of demand for this anyway.

I think both of these should probably wait for 7.4

Both of these are ready, only trivial changes are required.

Do we want all client interfaces / admin apps to be aware of schemas in
time for beta 1, or is the plan to fix these during the beta cycle?
