What spatial contributions have been contributed from this? I'm only seeing some query parsing / multi-threading extensions, no shapes / SRID's etc but it's giving significant, 'impression of ownership' of a lot of work that's been completed by other folks.
Is the community being strengthening / weakened by patch distributions? I still believe that spatial is better served as a contrib, rather than core, or certainly would have been up until now. So at least an easier to maintain and distribute version of it, could be developed and iterated upon.
