But it's not really a 'per feature' mailing list. BDR is a PGDG licenced extension (including some patches to postgres) that allows to do logical replication, including multimaster, today. Using 9.4. I doubt an eventual in-core facility will have the same UI, so BDR will continue to live for a while independently anyway.
