That's exactly what I was going to say -- I'd prefer that any
interested parties concentrate on producing a *really good*
replication implementation, which might eventually be integrated into
PostgreSQL itself.
Producing a "generic API" for something that really doesn't need
genericity sounds like a waste of time, IMHO.
