I dont think you should take the WKB type away.  If anything, I've had
requests to add extra support from it (so you can put it in group
by/order by/distinct clauses).
It also provides tagging so you can differenciate ordinary BYTEA
binary data and WKB data.

It also means that external applications can automatically recognize
WKB data comming towards them (instead just seeing text or bytea).
