unused_oids?

uuid datatype I use a script for generating catalog entries. I can close
some gaps there if the "masters" are okay with this. Are any OIDs
reserved for later or any range can be used in this case?

IMHO, better way is to use some high oids ( for example, starting from 8000 )
and before committing change they to lowest possible.

Ehan HEAD is under hard development, oids change quickly, so you will need to
rearrange your oids for each snapshot.

My advice is not to try to fill in the gaps --- better to leave them
there so that if any other objects are created that're related to the
nearby ones, they can be assigned nearby OIDs. If you've got a patch
that is going to use a bunch of OIDs for related purposes, it's better
to use a contiguous chunk of OIDs for it.

I believe that the bitmap-indexing patch is using OIDs starting at 3000
(at least that's the advice I gave them awhile back). If you need less
than 50 you might start at 2950, else check that patch and start above
whatever they used.
