Going by c4a1933b4, b33ef397a and 05893712c (to name just a few), it seems that maintaining debug_print_rel() is often forgotten. In the case of c4a1933b4, it was several years before anyone noticed that a path type was not handled by debug_print_rel(). (debug_print_rel() is only compiled when building with OPTIMIZER_DEBUG). After a quick survey on the pgsql-hackers mailing list, nobody came forward to admit that they use OPTIMIZER_DEBUG. So to prevent any future maintenance neglect, let's just remove debug_print_rel() and have OPTIMIZER_DEBUG make use of pprint() instead (as suggested by Tom Lane). If anyone wants to come forward to claim they make use of OPTIMIZER_DEBUG in a way that they need debug_print_rel() then they have around 10 months remaining in the v17 cycle where we could revert this. If nobody comes forward in that time, then we can likely safely declare debug_print_rel() as not worth keeping.
