My last email was written before reading this. A few episodes of 24 occurred between writing and sending that email.
Added slony1-hackers, but didn't remove pgsql-hackers. Feel free to exclude pgsql lists, as this branch of conversation seems to be more Slony related than Postgres.

I'd rather fix Slony (as done in the above patch). > Yes, by all means, fix the application, but that doesn't preclude the argument that the database should be a bit more smarter and efficient, especially if it is easy to do.
