Yes.  Currently I already create a separate "replicator" superuser just
so that I can simply track which connections belong to replication.  It
would be great if it could make the "replicator" user less than a superuser.

If we still make it possible for "postgres" to replicate, then we don't
add any complexity to the simplest setup.
