Pardon my misspeak, as there are those two components to the privs. My error.
Typically normal users aren't given create database privileges -- at least on

And, again, I'm completely for the idea of this being in postgresql.conf. But
I'm not convinced that the security angle is a valid reason. The consistency
reason is enough alone to warrant it being that way.
