What is possible and what do you suggest ?
Neither is possible directly. (B) means they're not a superuser and (A)
means they are.
There has been some talk of separating the power to create new users
from the power of being superuser (although presumably only a superuser
should be allowed to create new superusers). If the planned pg_role
rewrite gets submitted before the 8.1 feature freeze, I might look at
adding that frammish into it.
Did I see talk of per-database users too? That would be a sensible
dividing-line I suppose - you could have complete control of "your"
database and who can access it without interfering with anyone else.
