Just wanted to chime in on this thread with the sugestion that Chris
clearly has been thinking about this a lot, and has some strong opinions
about the 'right way to do things'. How about an offical, postgresql.org
hosted, CVS branch for ORDBMS development? Let Chris and whomever is
interested take a crack at doing it however they want, and _prove_
that the performance is as good, or much better, and is compatible, etc.
Clearly, details of implementation can be discussed to death, until
Chris gets fed up and goes away: not good. So, what do the core
developers think? Sound feasable? As to problems of keeping in sync with
HEAD, etc., that'd be up to Chris and his crew. Does postgresql.org
have the extra 20-30 MB of disk?
