Yup, thanks, will fix.

This was intentionally not done as I had really viewed pg_user, pg_group
and pg_shadow as deprecated and only for backwards-compatibility.
That's certainly why those views were added originally. On the other
hand, I do see that 'userepl' was added, so we've been keeping it
updated.
I am inclined to suggest that we actually mark pg_user, pg_group, and
pg_shadow as deprecated and planned for removal. We can't simply remove
them as we haven't actually said that but I don't think we should
continue to carry these pre-8.1 views around forever. Still, until we
do that, we should keep them updated.
I'll make these changes in the next couple of days (after the role
attribute bitmask patch, as that touches a lot of the same places).
Thanks,
Stephen
