Then we would get all sorts of posts about why they are not showing up

They can be, you just have to track/manipulate that yourself. What it
comes down to is that the Postgres project is not the admin for
everyone's install.

It is not noise, see:

/*

fprintf(OPF, " GRANTED BY %s", fmtId(grantor));
}
fprintf(OPF, ";\n");
