"SYSTEM" sounds good to me. FYI, this FLIP only impacts low level of the
SQL function stack and won't actually involve any DDL, thus I will just
document the decision and we should keep it in mind when it's time to
implement the DDLs.

I'm in the process of updating the FLIP to reflect changes required for
option #2, will send a new version for review soon.
