Hello
Why is it that PostgreSQL chooses to have features like replication, fulltext indexing and GIS maintained by others outside of the sourcetree?
well, in the case of replication, there are about a half dozen replication solutions currently out there, each providing replication in a different way, and non of them being "the definitive replication" ... also, PostgreSQL was designed to be extensible, so stuff like FTI and GIS can be plugged in *after* the server itself is up and running ... they are 'add ons', not 'core features' ...

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
