You can use src/include/catalog/unused_oids to look at the OIDs not
yet assigned. Assigning them logically increasing may be a good idea.
But OID ordering is not that mandatory for the internal functions and
operators.

I would not have touched this one. But if we go this way, let's
bike-shed and use pg_recovery_ as prefix for consistency.

That's part of the job of the release note writer, very likely Tom or
Bruce. The commit message should be explicit enough that the writer
does not have to dig into the code itself for the changes.
