I chatted about this on IRC for a bit. Apparently, updatability of
views is a mandatory feature in the sql standard and by relying on the
read-only-ness you were relying on non-standard behavior essentially.
I admit this is a pretty big pain (and I'm a real stickler for
backwards compatibility) but it's pretty hard to argue with the
standard. Workarounds are to revoke various privileges.
