I think the short answer is 'yes, we should let non-superusers do that',
but the longer answer is:
What level of access makes sense for managing subscriptions? Should
there be a way to say "user X is allowed to create a subscription for
remote system Y, but only for tables that exist in schema Q"?
My general feeling is 'yes', though, of course, I don't want to say that
we have to have all of that before we move forward with allowing
non-superusers to create subscriptions, but I do think we want to make
sure that we have a well thought-out path for how to get from where we
are now to a system which has a lot more granularity, and to do our best
to try avoiding any paths that might paint us into a corner.
Thanks!
