Just FYI:

	Andrew Dunstan pushed:

	- Correct volatility markings of a few json functions.  json_agg and
	  json_object_agg and their associated transition functions should
	  have been marked as stable rather than immutable, as they call IO
	  functions indirectly. Changing this probably isn't going to make
	  much difference, as you can't use an aggregate function in an index
	  expression, but we should be correct nevertheless.  json_object, on
	  the other hand, should be marked immutable rather than stable, as it
	  does not call IO functions.  As discussed on -hackers, this change
	  is being made without bumping the catalog version, as we don't want
	  to do that at this stage of the cycle, and  the changes are very
	  unlikely to affect anyone.

So it's not like it can't happen.
