Folks, For the past couple of years, I've been hearing from the PostGIS people among others that our type system just isn't flexible enough for their needs. It's really starting to show its age, or possibly design compromises that seemed reasonable a decade or more ago, but are less so now.
This is so general as to be quite meaningless to me. What is it that is wanted that we don't have. (And don't say "flexibility", that's way too general - say something much more concrete and specific. If you want flexibility we can store everything as text, but I doubt you'll like the result.)
