I'm not going to be committing Sync Rep today.

It's technically in very good shape, but some of the conceptual issues
aren't clear enough on a Friday night to make it sensible for me to
commit to PostgreSQL, given we must support it for 5 years if I do.

I believe those things are resolvable for 9.1, probably fairly soon, but
I'm not going to rush a commit just to hit a deadline. That isn't the
Way of Quality that we have followed for so long.

I'll let y'all discuss what to do next.
