That is probably the average users perception. But I hope that is not 
the reason why dblink, dbmirror and the "rserv prototype" are under 
contrib/ while projects like erserver and slony1 live on gborg - just to 
take this class of projects as an example.

I totally agree that gborg is the right place for this, as it is for 
another few things that still are in contrib/ and don't belong there.
