+1, looks good. I think this change has been waiting for a very long
time -- documented as useless by 81c41e3d0ed3 (Jan 2005, general doc
copy-edit, a paragraph you're now removing).

Interestingly, it seems pg_dump stopped relying on that column as a
side-effect of 9f0ae0c82060 (May 2002, "First pass at schema-fying
pg_dump/pg_restore"); adsrc remained used for 7.1 and older only, which
was removed afterwards.

Patch looks good. I probably would’ve opted for mentioning how to get a human
readable version on the page, along the lines of the attached version, but I
may be biased from having dealt with apps that need just that.

Agreed. I have integrated your suggestion.

Also, let's go nuts and remove pg_constraint.consrc as well.

Updated patches attached.
