Actually, this comes back to another scenario... There has been a
longstanding practice of letting distribution handlers deal with all of
this.

E.g; PostgreSQL is the core database. Anything external can be packaged
by someone else.

This is the whole reason mammothpostgresql.org exists.

Well that would certainly depend on the goal of the project.

To me, it is not a big deal if we do or don't include PL/Java because we
will include it in mammothpostgresql.org.

What is a mistake to me, is including two projects that provide near
functionality.
