Except you miss one key point here ... if Bruce/Tom/Jan have that sort of
time, why aren't they doing it now? </pre></blockquote> Well I think you might of missed his point. His point was if he
couldpick their priorities. I would kind<br /> of agree with Robert except that there are other dynamics involved...
Janworks for Afilias thus does<br /> what Afilias directs him to do and what that is right now is Slony-I. <br /><br />
Tomworks for RedHat but from what I can tell is basically a rogue agent ;). However if Tom stops<br /> works what he is
doingto help with PITR etc... I think a lot of the innner world of PostgreSQL would<br /> simply stop (if I am wrong
pleasecorrect me). Bruce --- well what can you say about Bruce ;).<br /><br /> Seriously though, we all have the  roles
thatwe play. I don't think redirecting specific resources to other<br /> resources will help beyond slowing up the
originalresources.<br /><br /> Sincerely,<br /><br /> Joshua D. Drake<br /><br /><br /><br /><blockquote
