Hi.

I've tried RLS for a little (in PostgreSQL 9.5alpha1), and want to ask why
this wasn't taken in account
in its implementation:

"Rather than look at pg_statistic directly, it's better to look at its view
pg_stats when examining the statistics manually. pg_stats is designed to be
more easily readable. Furthermore, pg_stats is readable by all, whereas
pg_statistic is only readable by a superuser. (This prevents unprivileged
users from learning something about the contents of other people's tables
from
the statistics. The pg_stats view is restricted to show only rows about
tables
that the current user can read.)"

i.e. after:
ALTER TABLE test ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;

I can still see all statistics for 'test' in pg_stats under unprivileged
user.
I'd prefer statistics on RLS-enabled tables to be simply hidden completely
for unprivileged users.
