Not knowing how difficult it could be maybe a fair compromise is to
move MONEY datatype to a contrib. And documenting its limitations.
That's pretty much dead in the water, I think. Builtin types and
functions have Oid values in different ranges from non-builtin types
such as those in contrib. It's one reason we have no chance of bringing
hstore into core as people have previously asked for. And for the same
reason I think moving a core type out to contrib won't work. In any
case, contrib shouldn't be a rubbish heap of old deprecated features.
