I believe so, even though I didn't take deep and detailed investigation

As above, I'd like to suggest the option 2.
Could you once remove the updates related to contrib/sepgsql?
I'll have a discussion about new materialized_view object class
on selinux list soon, then I'll submit a patch towards contrib/sepgsql

I think all we need to give extensions a chance to check permission
on REFRESH timing is a hook that informs which materialized-view
shall be refreshed. Probably, OAT_MATERIALIZED_VIEW_RERESH
event with its oid on object_access_hook is sufficient.
