Agreed. You can revoke all your own ordinary privileges on a table,
for example, and it would be just weird to not be able to do so for
a database.

Since (a) you could connect to a different DB, eg template1, and restore
the privilege; and (b) superusers will get past this check anyhow,
I see no need for special pushups to prevent revoking CONNECT.

It must, else the behavior is not backwards compatible.
