Maybe so, but the problem is that the patch is really WIP at this point
and it obviously still needs a lot of work, judging from the patch
author's comments.
I note that if 2nd Quadrant is interested in having a game-changing
platform without having to wait a full year for 9.2, they can obviously
distribute a modified version of Postgres that integrates Robert's
patch.
