Long discussion in February, and again in June in HACKERS. (Hmm, the
new User's Lounge seems to have gone in, but now we've no links to
mail archives. Ah, here's a bookmark I can use to get in.)
Here's one pointer:
http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-hackers/2000-06/msg00324.html
The search feature on the front page will search the mailing lists for
you, it's just a bit slow.
Oh, look in <your pgsql source tree>/doc/TODO.detail/drop
Looks like the thread from HACKERS is in there.
