    Commit a6417078 established a new project policy around OID assignment:
    new patches are encouraged to choose a random OID in the 8000..9999
    range when a manually-assigned OID is required (if multiple OIDs are
    required, a consecutive block of OIDs starting from the random point
    should be used).  Catalog entries added by committed patches that use
    OIDs from this "unstable" range are renumbered after feature freeze.
    This practice minimizes OID collisions among concurrently-developed
    patches.
    
    Show a specific random OID suggestion when the unused_oids script is
    run.  This makes it easy for patch authors to use a random OID from the
    unstable range, per the new policy.
