Some shops are going opposite way -- from PostgreSQL to MySQL like
databases because of missing replication features. The 9.1 caught up
but there is no multi-master replication like in Percona's XtraDB
cluster: http://www.percona.com/software/percona-xtradb-cluster/
Postgres-XC can solve this missing multi-master replication issue but
"nobody" knows that this project exists. Another project is "Galera
Cluster for PostgreSQL" (Galera is used in XtraDB) but this looks like
vaporware...
