Yeah, we haven't yet gotten to the issue of permissions, but certainly
creating or deleting a tablespace has to be a superuser-only operation,
if only because you probably have also got some manual filesystem work
to do to set up the associated directory; and that has to be done as
root or postgres.
It might be a good idea to restrict connect/disconnect (if we use those
operations) to superusers as well.
