Yeah, I remember those. What needs to be looked at here is *why* the
output is changing. For a patch that allegedly does not touch the
planner, it's fairly disturbing that you don't get the same results.

Are you sure that the security_label type should not have an array type?
I do not offhand see a good argument for that. If it really shouldn't,
we can change the expected output here, but you've got to make that
case first.
