I am not quite sure I agree with this. Either it's system object and we
don't replicate it (which I would have considered to be anything with
Oid < FirstNormalObjectId) or it's user made and then it should be
replicated. Filtering by schema name is IMHO way too fragile (what stops
user creating additional tables there for example).
