My 2 cents. Ongoing work on making superuser access unneeded seems much more relevant to me.
IMO superuser == full OS access available from postgres process. I think there's uncountable set of ways to affect OS
fromsuperuser.
E.g. you can create a TOAST value compressed by pglz that allows you to look few kilobytes before detoasted datum. Or
makean archive_command = 'gcc my shell code'.
It's not even funny to invent things that you can hack as a superuser.
