I'm confused that these were kept.  The first one was specifically to 
make the catalog representation of domain not-null constraints 
consistent with table not-null constraints.  But the table part was 
reverted, so now the domain constraints are inconsistent again.

The second one refers to the first one, but it might also fix some 
additional older issue, so it would need more investigation.
