I think it would be a bad idea to lose the history there, so -1 on that
from me.  In particular, older branches (12 and back) require a version
of pg_bsd_indent that would no longer be available.  Do I use that
often?  Not really, but who knows.  I'd rather have it there.

Maybe we could make the obsolence more obvious, such as by making the
Makefile emit a note about it.
