There are certainly successful deployments of multi-tenant PostgreSQL
out there, ones that make sense. What I was trying to communicate is
that the particular variation proposed by this academic paper doesn't
seem the right direction for PostgreSQL development to head in to me.
This project is stubborn about resolving the problems people actually
have, and the ones the paper tries to solve are not the ones I've seen
in my own experiments in multi-tenant deployments.
