Well, this discussion veering off into ISN has certainly validated my
gut feel that I should touch only the minimum number of things that
kills my pain points, rather than trying any more ambitious
restructuring. I hope that packaged extensions become so popular that
some serious cutting can happen to contrib, especially the data type
additions. If something as big as PostGIS can live happily as an
external project, surely most of these can too.
