I suppose there can be a kind of attack with this feature i.e.

- If someone already has his own tablespace he can do:
ALTER TABLESPACE my SET on_no_space=fatal; // This needs tablespace
ownership, not superuser permission.
- Then fill up his own db with garbage to fill his tablespace.
- Then all the db cluster will go fatal, even if the other users'
tablespaces are almost free.

If this can be avoided, I think the patch can be useful.
