Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] Track retired system procedures in pg_retired.dat

From: Mark Wong <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:47:50 -0800

System procedures may be removed from time to time.  Keep track of
previously used OIDs to prevent potential conflicts from reusing OIDs
after an upgrade.
