Yes.
If it were actually synced with our current CVS and potentially
mergeable, the debate might have been longer :-(. But in point of fact,
postgres-R has never been less than two releases behind in the past five
years, and so there was never a time when merging it was technically
feasible.
There are also political issues --- merging it into our core would be
seen as blessing one particular replication solution to the exclusion
of others.
And last I checked, there were licensing issues, because postgres-R
depends on a group-communication package that doesn't use a BSD-style
license.
I'd personally be willing to override the political objections if the
other two categories of problems were surmounted. But I doubt they
ever will be.
