I wish ppl would quite dropping off CC's :(  Especially when this stuff
*should* be being discussed in pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org...

As for the pg_privileges relation and whatnot...is this something we want
for v6.3 (can it be done in 2weeks?) or wait until after v6.3 is released?

Well, I can create the table quite easily.  The issue is what type of
flack we will get by haveing pg_user non-readable, and removing the user
name from psql's \d output.
