   I made the point in https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/6718 that we may want to allow multiple datasources that point to the same physical table in the database.
   
   The concept of ownership effectively allows a user to "landgrab" a datasource and control it. It's also possible that an employe that has left the company is the owner of a datasource, then you have to ask an admin to grant you ownership of that table... Or if I want to add a metric to a table, I have to ask the owner to make me an owner as well. Also if a table has many owners, it's likely that one person will break someone else's chart or dashboard.
   
   On the other hand, having many datasources around the `rides` or `booking` physical table is also confusing. Tradeoffs. I think I could be convinced either way...
