I found a strange checks in the native database privilege stuff.

The EnableDisableRule() calls pg_class_ownercheck() to check
the ownership of the relation which has a rule to be turned
on/off.

Only ATExecEnableDisableRule() calls the EnableDisableRule(),
and only ATExecCmd() calls the ATExecEnableDisableRule()
with AT_EnableRule, AT_EnableAlwaysRule, AT_EnableReplicaRule
and AT_DisableRule.

However, ATPrepCmd() already checks ownership of the target
relation using ATSimplePermissions(), so the pg_class_ownercheck()
at the EnableDisableRule() always returns true.

I replaced the checks by the abstraction of ac_rule_toggle()
in my patch. However, it may be better to remove the checks simply.

Thanks,
