It seems to me that we have consensus that:
1. We need special role to create subscription
2. This role can create subscription with some security checks
3. We have complete list of possible security checks
4. We have code that implements most of these checks (I believe pg_subscription_role_v2.patch is enough, but we can
tightenchecks a little more) 

Do we have any objection on these points?

If not, it is RFC, it should not be returned.

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
