The features (both MAC, and row-level security), are interesting.
* I've worked with organizations where MAC was a big deal.
* I've had use cases where row-level security would be useful.
* If this feature's a right step of getting PG into getting onto lists
of EAL-certified databases like these:
http://www.niap-ccevs.org/cc-scheme/vpl/?tech_name=DBMS
it could make selling PG-backed solutions to some companies
easier. I guess that'd count as a sales/PR feature?
What I don't know is if this particular patch is the best step
to getting any of those features.
