Copying the pg_class table, with oids and indexes, with and without
the addition of one timestamp column, the timestamp column caused the
copy to be about 11.3% larger; so I see your point.
 
I guess I didn't realize just how tight the pg_class table was.
 
Given all that, I'm going to say that from my perspective I don't
think the convenience of saving the information is worth the cost,
with either approach.  I understand it might mean more to others.
