I'm not convinced that it really makes sense to have PUBLICATION of a table be independent from the rights an owner of a table has. We don't allow other ALTER commands on objects based on GRANT'able rights, in general, so I'm not really sure that it makes sense to do so here. The downside of adding these privileges is that we're burning through the last few bits in the ACLMASK for a privilege that doesn't really seem like it's something that would be GRANT'd in general usage. I have similar reservations regarding the proposed SUBSCRIPTION privilege. I'm certainly all for removing the need for users to be the superuser for such commands, just not sure that they should be GRANT'able privileges instead of privileges which the owner of the relation or database has. Thanks! Stephen
