Hi;
For 1.6, one thing I would like to do is move the low-level user/permission management portions to a PostgreSQL extension, published on Pgxn.
My reasoning for this is:
1) this is generally useful and has nothing LSMB specific
2) It gives us greater exposure among PostgreSQL users
3) It is security critical, has security gotchas, and could benefit from extra review.
The downside is that it is another external dependency. On the positive side the ability to run it against a db without installing as a dependency is still a possible fall-back. It means more attention to the installation experience is required.
Any thoughts cautions, objections, etc?
