Plenty of people are using it. It's not _exactly_ real time, though.
What do you mean by "real-time mirroring"?
If you are not yet in production and are looking for something
that'll be ready in the next six months, you might want to check out
the Slony-I project on gborg.postgresql.org. But even that is not
"real time", in that there is a gap between when a tuple is COMMITTED
on the primary node and when it appears on other nodes.
