Re: _pg_keyposition is gone in HEAD

I is being used to get the position of a key in the database meta data
getImportedExported keys, to be specific.

My impression was that the information_schema was being provided in
order to provide an abstraction of the
internal catalogs, ostensibly to minimize changes to clients when the
underlying catalogs change from version to version?
If this is the case removing it doesn't seem like an option? Shouldn't
it be re-written to reflect reality below it ?
