Committed that way.  One possible disadvantage down the road is that
people may now have the "default" privileges instantiated in their
databases, which will pose a hazard if we ever want to change the
default privilege sets.  I imagine that we could have pg_upgrade go
through and modify the contents of pg_default_acl if we got in a bind
over this, but it's going to be something to think about.
