Sure I did not care.  Because I thought I can get rid of them
anytime I wanted.  But it seems it's not the case...

We've set default_with_oids = false, for quite a long time.  But there
are still tables remaining with oids.  And this discussion showed it
now easy to get rid of them.

I can patch Postgres myself, but I was thinking maybe others want also
some solution.
