Well, as I tried to clarify upthread, it's only a problem if the list is a subfield of a recognized Node type. Random private data structures can and do contain lists of $whatever. But if you put something in a Node type then you'd better be prepared to teach backend/nodes/*.c about it. regards, tom lane
