I am a dope. The first user oid is 16k, and unused_oids says:
$ unused_oids1 - 10100 - 1017548429491288 - 12951597 - 15991608 - 16101619 - 16391644 -
There is nothing magical about 1644. We have always been packing the
oids into that range, while we have never used oids over 1644. Just
start at 1650 and head toward 16384. We have roughly 16200 unused
system oids left.
