Someone wanted to rename a database while someone else was running a rather long pg_dump, so the rename had to wait, and everyone else had to wait for the rename because no new connections would be allowed. It's clear that we need to prevent new connections to the database being renamed, but isn't there a less intrusive way to do that (row locks?)? Right now, everyone with createdb privileges effectively has DOS superpowers.
