Well, all I'm dealing with is that the *existing GPL code* can't stay.
Let me know if Abhijit's version (or something else) gets accepted and
I'll kill the pgFoundry project.
Overall, though, I think we should really wait until 8.3 for core merge and
API improvements. Wasn't Tom just complaining about last-minute features,
and not enough code reviewers?
