FWIW, I think there's a pretty large barrier to these folks contributing back. Would the community really want to add a
bunchof hooks to support something like Redshift? Or Greenplum? Or etc, etc.? Most of these guys have to change
significantamounts of PG code, so much so that it's actually hard for them to stay current (which is why most of them
justfork).
 

I do think this is a shame, but I'm not sure of any good way to fix it.
