I expect demand for this to heat up enough this summer to pull Dimitri
back into helping with this again; maybe some other people too. I hope
that pulls enough bodies in to nail down something permanent.

The business case that I expect will fund some of this is backporting
the extensions added/improved significantly in 9.2, so they're easier to
install on 9.1. In core extensions and PGXN are all nice, but there's a
chunk of the market that will want their extensions installed via OS
packages instead. And that problem crosses over heavily with this one.
