Comment(by robe):

 BTW: I'm still for having both a geometry_columns and an
 st_geometry_columns, but my reason for both has changed.  As I said the
 st_geometry_columns is defined in the SQL/MM specs so if our objective is
 to move in that direction, I think we should have it.

 However, I now feel both should be views, but that geometry_columns should
 return the old form (uppercase -- POINT, POINT,POINT, POINTM), and
 st_geometry_columns should return the new format Point,PointZ, PointZM,
 PointM  (or should that be ST_Point... I forget).
