pl-j ( the other java procedural language ) is definately interested in being in core.
Yet anothre good reason *not* to be including PLs ... similar to why we moved libpq++ out of core ... I may be wrong, but I doubt that pl-j has the same feature set as pl-java, or vs versa ... so, what do we do? each time someone argues for a better widget, we swap out the old and include the new? there is no guarantee that plPHP will be the only PHP based PL out there, any more then the other PLs, or language libraries ...
*If* something *requires* the physical postgresql source code to be available (not just the isntalled headers/libraries), like libpq does, then it makes sense to be part of the core distribution ... but, IMHO, the core distribution shouldn't be 'the means to validation' of an interface, since it unfairly negates work that someone else might be working on (ie. in this case, Dave's pl-j alternative to pl-java) ...
