Well, I think we have to ask not only how many people are using
float4/8, but how many people are sorting or creating indexes on them.
I think it would be few and perhaps should be eliminated.
I agree that it's probably pretty unusual to index floats. My objection
was on the assumption that float8 is valid but float4 isn't. If we are
going to provide a fast-path for one then we should do it for both if
for no other reason than least surprise.
