Well, this is exactly why it's hard to reach agreement on what should
be in a software catalog. pglogical hit version 1.0 just 15 days ago,
and you're ready to say that anyone who thinks they might instead want
to use a tool that's been in production use for 10 years is crazy.
I'm going to say I disagree. I do not believe people using pglogical
are crazy, and I don't believe people who are using Slony or Bucardo
or Londiste are crazy either.
