From what I recall of this thread, nobody has really complained about
this stuff either, so a backpatch would be off the table.  I agree
that what Peter E is proposing on the other thread is much more
suitable in the long term, as there is no need to worry about multiple
combinations of relkinds in error message, so such error strings
become a no-brainer when more relkinds are added.
