No, they have upgraded along the way. pg_dump carefully preserves the
with/without oids property of the tables it is dumping. And rightly so.
This has nothing to do with default_without_oids.
Indeed. If they have not bothered to remove oids from their tables up
to now, what are the odds that they're going to bother in the future?
IMHO, the only way they'd care is if we try to force them to care
(ie by removing oids as a user option), which I'm against. So I see
no flag day here. They'll still have oids and they still won't care.
I have clients I have not yet managed to ween off oids, because they
have legacy apps, sometimes third party apps, that rely on them. I don't
want to make it any harder to get them over the hurdle.
