If you have time, that'd certainly be helpful.

Guess I see that a bit differently- the two features, while they might
be able to be used together, should both be documented appropriately and
at the level that each can be used independently.  I'm not sure that
documentation about how to build RLS on top of updatable security
barrier views w/o actual RLS support being in PG would be something we'd
want to include in the PG documentation, which I guess is what you're
getting at here.
Thanks,
