The part of this that hasn't been justified to my satisfaction is *why*
the database owner should own the public schema. He doesn't get to own,
say, the integer plus operator.
There is some merit in the thought that the DB owner should be able to
grant and revoke access on the public schema, but that no longer
requires ownership, only membership in an appropriate role.

The DB owner shouldn't really be responsible for vacuuming anyway.
