So you're saying that unless PostgreSQL Core (which I assume you're
referring to with "postgresql team") endorse a pile of code that they
neither wrote, audited nor have any experience with, it won't be good
enough for you?
I rather they didn't endorse anything they wern't sure of. Replication
is hard. There are many replication solutions for Postgres, both
multi-master and master/slave and sync/async. I'd rather these products
prove themselves than by anyone stamping them Endorsed.

I suppose they had a hand in writing it too...
Have a nice day,
