I just noticed that AlterSchemaOwner (and others like AlterFunctionOwner
-- I haven't checked anything else yet) does not release the lock on
pg_namespace (resp. AlterFunctionOwner) after it's done changing it. Is
there a reason for this?

I notice ATExecChangeOwner uses a different mechanism, but it still
locks the relation until transaction end.
