I believe you are misunderstanding me.  If there are actual technical problems or snags to migrating jsonb into core
withfull operator and index support, then the way we find out is to do the implementation, unless you know of a
specifictechnical holdup already.

There was no technical reason that json couldn't have been an extension, either, but there were very compelling
presentationalreasons to have it in core.  jsonb has exactly the same presentational issues.

The thing I still haven't heard is why jsonb in core is a bad idea, except that it is too much code.  Is that the
objection?
