I don't see it that way. We don't support one over another. As you say,
we support Slony because at the time, it was the only one worth it. We
don't support the other ones because we don't have time to work on this.
It isn't a case of "Slony is better, X is crap". It's just that we lack
time (and perhaps motivation too) to add support for another one.
Actually, I would have no problem adding another one, like Londiste for
example. I don't have time to code this myself, but if someone does, I
have no problem to see his work commited.

Yeah, that makes sense. But it doesn't mean we should get rid of
something working (apart from those two bugs).
