I'm not following this as closely as I'd like to, but I wanted to voice
my opinion that this is just not acceptable as a general answer. There
are a good many applications out there which do DDL as part of ongoing
activity (part of ETL, or something else) and still need to be able to
get a pg_dump done. It's not a design I'd recommend, but I don't think
we get to just write it off either.
Thanks,
Stephen
