There are several replication projects for postgres. At least one is in
contrib, at least one is a commercial product. They are all various stages
of development and reliability. None has come on top as the best, though
several are useful.
None has reached the stage of being built-in to postgres. I guess that's why
it's not mentioned.
Hope this helps,
