This argument doesn't hold too much weight. Namely because there are only

The are languages you include because your database doesn't "sound"
complete with out them. Regardless if you can download them separately.
People are lazy. They don't want to download them separately.

Actually, as I've stated many times before, and why I continue to argue against the "mega distribution", I *know* that ppl using the *BSDs download them indivdually, as that is how our ports are built:


drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb  4 04:59 p5-postgresql-plperl
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb  4 04:59 postgresql-plpython
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Jan 31 04:59 postgresql-plruby
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Feb  4 04:59 postgresql-pltcl

Unless postgresql isn't already installed ...

In fact, a total break down right now o four ports looks like:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Feb  4 04:59 p5-postgresql-plperl
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   512 Feb  4 04:59 postgresql-contrib
