We did when we decided to allow geography in there. and we had long
discussions on devel already (Perhaps Mark is having amnesia :).  I even
amended the docs and also created a compatibility matrix and link in the
docs to it.

I really thought we had crossed that bridge when we agreed on geography for
1.5. And yes, it's a requirement of both typmod and this cost alteration so
it seemed like a no brainer to start making sure it was done.

(Though, in my spirit of "please, smaller more focussed tickets" I should
have ticketed the actual change instead of doing it as a side
effect.)
