It's too early to vote. :-)

The second and third option have prerequisite.
The purpose of them is to match granularity of access controls
provided by SE-PostgreSQL and native PostgreSQL. However, I have
not seen a clear reason why these different security mechanisms
have to have same granuality in access controls.

As I mentioned before, it is quite natural that different security
mechanism provides its access controls in different granuality,
as widely accepted in Linux.

The reason is now unclear for me.
