Comment(by robe):

 Oh I forgot about the issue of all those people with existing tables --
 with your model we would have to force them to alter all their existing
 tables to typmod explicit types if they wanted to still use
 geometry_columns. I suspect that would take a long time with large tables.
 Not to mention we would probably have to create a script to do that to
 make it less painful.
