Well, yes, that's right. Although we cannot assume that VODKA will get
into 9.5 - it's a big project. Nor is it obvious to me that a
VODKA-ized set of operator classes would not bring with them exactly
the same dilemma as we now face vis-a-vis hstore code reuse and GIN
operator classes. So it seems reasonable to me to suppose that VODKA
should not influence our decision here. Please correct me if I'm
mistaken.
