No, we need a table to have primary key to be able to replicate it. From
the other hand replicating a system relation can be dangerous, i.e. what if
you replicate the contents of pg_class without corresponing relations on the 
slave, that's why explicitly forbid enabling replication for relations from 
pg_catalog namespace.
