No, you need a full DROP. I don't see that that's harder than removing
only the pg_class tuple --- the problem in either case is to be sure
it's OK. In particular, how to avoid a race condition against an
incoming backend that adopts that BackendId? Worst-case, you could be
deleting a temp table he just made.
