Well, you posted this:

top level: data-template
main tables: data, data-recent both inherit from data-template
all partitions inherit from data
only recent partitions inherit from data-recent
grants are issued on data and data-recent

But this is too vague for me to make out who can read what and what
would change under the proposed change and why that would be a problem.
