Well -- and although I am notably biased it does seem that it is not
quite correct to announce Slony as part of version 8. Slony is not "the"
PostgreSQL Replication solution. It is one of many as many have (not

To be fair :) the only thing that makes Slony notable for PostgreSQL is
that it is Open Source. There are other replication systems out there
that have been working for some time.
