Well, if we feel file locations are better left only visible to
super-users, we should.  However, when managing disk space, aren't
normal users also often interested in which disk drives will store their
data?  I don't see a big value to obscuring pgdata myself.

I suppose one solution would be for administrators to name their
tablespaces after the disk drive names if they want their users will
know the drive names.
