Hi all,

Per bug #14706, it has been discussed the possibility to remove the
transformation of opaque functions happening for example when
declaring a trigger:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAB7nPqTc-7u1k2vZ3qLxvSyaXbvNCrc9zMuvyF4-wUzJ8zFKVg@mail.gmail.com

As far as I can see, the deprecation is present since 2002 via commit
a2a3192, and has been around to allow the restore of old dump files.
On HEAD pg_dump supports servers down to 8.0, which was released in
2005. So there are already a couple of years in-between.

This is of course not a topic for 10, just for 11 for when its
development opens.

Thoughts?
