I don't recall any such thing having been removed, but it does seem
peculiar that there are no GIST opclasses in the standard distribution.
How the heck did the GIST index code get developed/tested without some
opclasses?
Anyone remember the history? AFAICT from the CVS logs, GIST was added
to the tree in mid 1996, but no opclasses for it were added at the time.
I'd go digging in the maillist archives, but www.postgresql.org is too
friggin' slow at the moment ...
