Re: Open 7.3 items

OK, what I didn't want to do we to over-complexify something that is for
only a few users. In a way that user has to be special for this case
because of the requirement that at least one person be able to connect
when you flip that flag.

Also, I don't want to add a column to pg_shadow. Seems like overkill.

Please suggest another name for the file.

Basically, I am not going to stop working on something when one person
objects or this will never get done, and I think we have had enough
feedback on this that people do want this done.
