Final verdict was that we need to make it integrate better with
information_schema. At that point, our crew kinda ran out of energy and
it's been on hold ever since. But we've been talking about reviving it
again.

However, given the previous experience, I think we'd like some
reassurance that if NewSysviews was made conistent with
information_schema (and had good code, of course) that Hackers would be
interested in taking it. What nobody has any enthusiasm for is spending
a few dozen hours refactoring it, and then having to justify why we want
it *again*.
