I guess I'm not convinced that it's really the same. I think we want to allow users to create views over system objects; our life might be easier if we hadn't permitted that, but views over e.g. pg_locks are common, and prohibiting them doesn't seem like a reasonable choice. I'm less clear that we want to let them publish system objects.
