I see no negative comments to this patch on -hackers.

This was discussed here
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PgCon_2008_Developer_Meeting#SQL.2FMED
and I had understood the consensus to be that we would go ahead with
this?

The notes say "Heikki doesn't think this is a long term solution", but
in the following discussion it was the *only* way of doing this that
will work with non-PostgreSQL databases. So it seems like the way we
would want to go, yes?

So, can we add this to the CommitFest July page so it can receive some
substantial constructive/destructive comments?

This could be an important feature in conjunction with Hot Standby.
