Right.  The real question here is who's going to be using a 2005
database release with a pre-2000 security system?  There's a fair
amount of code there and no evidence that time spent on testing
and maintaining it is going to benefit anyone anymore.

If someone wakes up and says "hey, I'm still ACTUALLY using that code",
I'm willing to forbear ... but otherwise I think its time is long gone.

            regards, tom lane
