That's is a good question and as I mentioned, I don't know much about 
Postgres-R. My point was directly to the argument that a fast moving 
PostgreSQL somehow limits the ability for replication to be built. That 
argument, I believe is false.

I originally responded to the rest of your email but thought better of 
it. The only thing I can say is, my experience is that something like 
replication will only be productively completed, outside the community.

Jan, for the most part created his own community with Slony. Postgres-R 
is doing the same as is the others such as pgPool.

The nature that they are all their own communities, not to mention 
several closed source products (Replicator, Unicluster) pretty much sets 
the whole thing up to fail IMHO.

Otherwise you are just hearding cats.
