I wonder if these changes are driven by the fact that AWS RDS (and presumably other DB as a service environments) don't give you access to the superuser? Hopefully this will help finally smooth off the rough edges when trying to deal with Postgres databses in both environments; cloud/AWS RDS (for test/prod) and locally (for dev). It's awkward to have logic branches in the database migrations to deal with the differences between the two environments (creation/re-creation of users and permissions, specifically).
