On IRC today someone brought up a problem in which users were still able
to connect to a database after a "REVOKE CONNECT ... FROM theuser". The
reason theuser is still able to connect is because PUBLIC still has
privileges to connect by default (AndrewSN was the one who answered
this).

Would it be reasonable to throw a warning if you revoke a privilege from
some role, and that role inherits the privilege from some other role (or
PUBLIC)?

Regards,Jeff Davis
