I don't see a problem with that in general. Other databases (like
Informix) do it even worse and you need a UNIX or NIS account where the
password is held!

What would be good is IMHO to have GRANT|REVOKE CONNECT which defaults
to REVOKE, so only superusers and the DB owner can connect, but that the
owner later can change it without the need to edit hba.conf.
