sure that ISP is a bit stupid(especially wrt plpgsql) - but tsearch2 in the current version is actually imposing some additional(often non-trivial) complexity for things like database restores and upgrades so I can see an ISP wanting to avoid that altogether. A fully integrated fulltext search could make that much easier(in a few years when most distributions have picked up 8.3) and just telling people they should switch their hosting ISP is not always an immediatly workable solution (think contracts,migration costs,legacy apps).
