Comment(by robe):

 I'm not really quite sure what you mean by existence of public.  public
 group always exists though public schema may not. anyrate like I said
 topology aside, I see no reason why we can't make geometry_columns,
 geography_columns, raster_columns, spatial_ref_sys publically readable
 since they are already internally limited by the account viewing it (minus
 -- spatial_ref_sys), but hey spatial_ref_sys is pretty much the same
 across all postgis dbs so what's the big deal with people seeing what is
 in there.
