More seriously: the current state of affairs is that the full-disjunction code exists as a pgfoundry project. If it's indeed the second greatest thing since sliced bread, then I think we could assume that people will find it and use it from pgfoundry.
That goes back to assuming people not only know about pgfoundry, but are similarly willing to search it.
The question that's on the table is whether it needs to be in contrib right now. I have not seen either a technical argument or popularity argument why it ought to move into contrib.
In addition to knowing that Tzahi has put a *very* significant amount of work into his research as well as this code over the past few months, I have to agree with several items stated by "Agent M". This is the *first* implementation of this concept in any database system, so there's not going to be anyone jumping up and down singing it's praises just yet. However, when people do get a chance to play with it, I believe we'll have a number of them saying how useful it is. There are several contrib modules still included in the system that aren't that heavily used... I don't see the harm in including this one for at least this release. If no one uses it, take it out for 8.3. IMHO, this is just a really cool piece of technology that provides functionality which can't be done any other way; why not give it a chance? -- Jonah H.
