What about:

REVOKE SELECT ON [table] FROM pg_read_all_data;

I guess what I’m really asking is whether pg_read_all_data is automatically granted SELECT on all newly-created relations, or if the permission checking system always returns TRUE when asked if pg_read_all_data can select from a relation? I’m guessing it’s the latter so that it would be ineffective to revoke select privilege as I think this is more useful, but I’d like to be sure and the documentation should be explicit on this point.
