I think this is a good change to pursue, and we'll likely want to do
more similar changes in contrib.  But I'm worried that what is logically
a 10-line change will end up a 20 KiB patch every time.

Have we explored other options for addressing the upgrade problems?
Maybe the function could check that non-default privileges have been
granted?
