Comment(by robe):

 no topology tables do not annoy me.  Those actually make sense to be
 listed in geometry_columns because they really are geometry columns you
 can query like any other and are real bonafied geometry tables.
 raster_columns is a view now so there is doubly no point in having it
 listed.

 The main issue with raster_columns why it is different and useless to list
 is that its a mixed bag of mbrs so there is no consistency in the srid.
 It will always be unknown.  I can't think of a reason why a gis client
 would even care about this column because if they cared about raster,
 they'd go straight for the raster_columns system catalog and be displaying
 the extent.
