Agree. The basic argue for removing something from contrib should bethat nobody maintain a module or that maintain
it in the contrib isdifficult.
Other problem -- now maintainers of distribution PostgreSQL packages(Debian/RH/...) make packages from the contrib
tree.Are you sure theywill search something on sourceforge/gborg and make separate packegesfor each small script? How
theywill detect what is good for packaging?The contrib tree is basic selection of interesting small thigs
fromPostgreSQLworld.
