This really is a needed feature to make PostgreSQL more attractive to businesses. A more robust security model that better follows commercial products is needed for adoption.
I would argue that commercial products need to get a clue and stop playing bondage with their users to help stop their imminent and frankly obvious downfall from the Open Source competition.
This "feature" as it is called can be developed externally and has zero reason to exist within PostgreSQL. If the feature has the level of demand that people think that it does, then the external project will be very successful and that's cool.
