You may have a point here, not in the way of reworking entirely the documentation, but in the fact that we may want to use "system objects" instead of "system roles". I am not personally sure that it is a better improvement than using "default roles", but that's a point to raise. -- Michael signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Please see the attached. I did a quick search for other cases of “system roles” with nothing coming up, so it looks like you caught the only reference. LGTM. Thanks!

This inconsistency is part of the more general problem that we miss a chapter, where our basic terms like 'database', 'cluster', 'segment', 'catalog', 'schema', ... are explicitly defined. Kind regards Jürgen Purtz
"System roles" mentioned in psql documentation
Hi all, I have noticed that psql documentation mentions "system roles", however in all other parts of the docs, we use the term "default roles". Shouldn't we make this term more consistent and also add a link to the table describing those roles? Please see the attached.
