See thread here:

and patch here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-09/msg00101.php

This was not back-patched because it seemed like too much of a behavior
change for stable branches.
  
Thanks,

I forgot the link between RULES and views.

But this also means that a super user is not really a super user 
anymore.  Are we comfortable with this redefinition?
