I do not understand this change; my original patch 0001 has like this,
that mean we are only allowing ACL_TRUNCATE and ACL_DELETE for
conflict log table, whats the reason for changing the same in 0002?

  if ((mask & (ACL_INSERT | ACL_UPDATE | ACL_DELETE | ACL_TRUNCATE |
ACL_USAGE)) &&
- IsSystemClass(table_oid, classForm) &&
- classForm->relkind != RELKIND_VIEW &&
+ IsConflictClass(classForm) &&
  !superuser_arg(roleid))
- mask &= ~(ACL_INSERT | ACL_UPDATE | ACL_DELETE | ACL_TRUNCATE | ACL_USAGE);
+ mask &= ~(ACL_INSERT | ACL_UPDATE | ACL_USAGE);
+ else if ((mask & (ACL_INSERT | ACL_UPDATE | ACL_DELETE |
ACL_TRUNCATE | ACL_USAGE)) &&
+ IsSystemClass(table_oid, classForm) &&
+ classForm->relkind != RELKIND_VIEW &&
+ !superuser_arg(roleid))
+ mask &= ~(ACL_INSERT | ACL_UPDATE | ACL_DELETE | ACL_TRUNCATE | ACL_USAGE);
