Jonah,

Your attitude has been lacking about this whole thing, as has a lot of
other people. PgFoundry is the official sub project site for PostgreSQL.

It is not a graveyard, projects on PgFoundry should receive full
advocacy and promotion about their abilities and their linkage PostgreSQL.

If we spent half as much time promoting and helping the various sub
project succeed as we doing whining on this list, we would be far more
dominant in the industry then we are.

I am sick of all the moaning that goes on, with this list about -- "oh
please, we need this in core". It is a crock we have a huge repository
of PostgreSQL projects that are not in core and this attitude is
detrimental and negative to all who are involved with those projects.

When full disjunctons is ready, I am sure it will be considered for
core. It currently is not and pgFoundry is the perfect place for until
until then.

We can still promote and announce we have a full disjunctions
implementation, just as we can advertise we have full text indexing.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
