That seems like a good idea to me. I can't help but think that
someone, somewhere is going to create a "suspended" role to assign
to logins which they want temporarily disabled, put that at the top
of pg_hba.conf, and not be amused by the results.
When I dig out from under some other issues, I'll put together a
docs patch to propose something like the above, if nobody beats me
to it.
