Final verdict was that we need to make it integrate better with 
information_schema.  At that point, our crew kinda ran out of energy and 
it's been on hold ever since.   But we've been talking about reviving it 
again.

However, given the previous experience, I think we'd like some 
reassurance that if NewSysviews was made conistent with 
information_schema (and had good code, of course) that Hackers would be 
interested in taking it.  What nobody has any enthusiasm for is spending 
a few dozen hours refactoring it, and then having to justify why we want 
it *again*.
