Re: PostgreSQL 8.4 development plan

I wonder if the efforts to provide mirrors for many different systems can hurt later down the road. It is pretty
obviousthat amost every current system has options to convert from or to mirror a CVS repository. But what if we
somedayreally want to use something else as the master repository? Are we ready to accept losing unsupported mirrors at
thattime, or will that actually influence the choice (I think that it should not ... but I can hear the outcry
already).

Well, I didn't want to announce anything before anything existed, but this is 
precisely what is being worked on.  Watch for an announcement in this forum.
