Anybody knowing  a little about the world of replication needs will
agree with you here. Unfortunately, AFAICS pgcluster can't be added as
module as e.g. Slony-I, since it's rather a not-so-small patch to the
pgsql sources. So I wonder if it's possible to provide some
not-too-intrusive hooks in core pgsql, enabling pgcluster to do most of
the work in modules, to have the best of both worlds: core with as few
modifications as possible, and modules extending the operation,
profiting from backend development immediately.
