That sounds pretty nuts to me, because of the pg_dump use case if
nothing else. I don't think it's reasonable to say "oh, if you execute
this DDL on your system, it will instantaneously and automatically
begin to create outbound network connections, and there's no way to
turn that off." It ought to be possible to set up a configuration
first and then only later turn it on. And it definitely ought to be
possible, if things aren't working out, to turn it back off, too.
