I agree that Default ACLs are more important and I already offered
Stephen help on that. But I've seen countless requests for granting on
all tables to a user and I already got some positive feedback outside of
the list, so I believe there is demand for this. Also to paraphrase you
Tom, by that logic you can tell people to write half of administration
functionality as plpgsql functions.
