What do you mean by "everything else"? The key point here is that
access to the bootstrap catalogs like pg_class and pg_attribute can't
be dependent on accesses to other catalogs, or we get into circularities.
We certainly aren't trying to look in pg_depend when we do a heap_open.
(Or, if you tell me that we are now because the logical replication
patch added it, I'm going to start agitating for reverting the patch
and sending it back for redesign.)
