Folks,
I'm wondering whether or not we should be promoting pglogical with the release as an external extension.
We have a long standing practice of not promoting external tools/utilities/add-ons in docs or with releases - as you know we went out of our way to remove such references from the docs years ago.
The idea that the concrete we poured 15 years ago never needs to be inspected for upgrade is a very poor way to insure the integrity and strength of the foundation.
Right. Most importantly, we fail to mention the backup utilities that every user should use and know about, and we fail to point users at connection poolers despite not incorporating one in core.
Whatever the outcome with pglogical I'd love to see that change. And no, I don't think "use the wiki" is good enough.
