Personally, as a PostgreSQL Advocate, I believe that PITR is one of the
most important missing features in PostgreSQL. I've been keeping 'all' of
you e-mails about PITR and I'm really excited with that feature.

Please do not stop working on PITR. I'm pretty sure that most of the
'silent' people in the lists are waiting for PITR for an {Oracle, DB2, ...}-killer
database. In my country (Turkey), too many people spend a lot of
money for proprietary databases, just for some missing features in
PostgreSQL. If you finish your work on PITR (and other guys on NT, Win32
port, etc), then we'll feel more concentrated on PostgreSQL Advocation, so
that PostgreSQL will be used more and more. (Oh, we also need native
clustering...)

Maybe I should send this e-mail offlist, but I wanted everyone to learn my
feelings.

Regards and best wishes,
