The fact is that we had been going round and round on Json for a while, 
and Robert Haas rightly made a move to break the Gordian knot. We would 
not have done ourselves any service by not accepting it.

Hindsight is always 20-20, but even with what we have today people get 
excited, and more people move to use Postgres every day because we have 
that support.
