Glad to hear - I vaguely remember this coming up in a different thread
some time ago, and I though you (Peter) had reservations about moving
things past after the ACL step, but I couldn't find this thread now
anymore, only

I think this comment is overly specific: any materialized view that
references a view or table in a different schema (pg_catalog or not)
will likely not refresh on pg_restore AIUI, so singling out system views
doesn't look right to me.
