Definitely should be released without it ... it is an extension not submitted for inclusion prior to the feature freeze ...

I'm working on the promised DROP OWNED patch, and just noticed that it needs modifications to the Grant/Revoke machinery that are too invasive to consider for 8.1; the problem is that ExecuteGrantStmt takes textual names for objects and grantees, and what I have from pg_shdepend are Oids. Dropping the objects themselves is easy -- the problem is dropping grants to other objects. So, instead of doing that, I think it's better to convert the Oids to names in the shared-dependency code. This should be rewritten after the next development period starts, for efficiency and cleanliness. Is anyone opposed to this idea? Further, is anyone opposed to the addition as a whole? I'm already a month and a half late with this part of the shdep patch, so if people think it's better to ship this release without it, so be it.
