That would be the major worry I'd have.  AFAICS the requirements for
different forms of replication are so different that a "one size fits
all" API seems impossible.  Perhaps an API that would allow plugging in
Postgres-R could be made, but I doubt it would be useful for anything
very much different from Postgres-R.

If you think you can define such an API, though, let's see a sketch ...
