 BTW, there's some other issues with large objects, notably their use of
 OIDs. Lots of LOs can lead to OID depletion. There was a thread about
 this recently.

 It might be about time to come up with an extension that's a replacement
 for large objects.

What would it take to fund such an extension?
 
It would "have to" support:
- Migrate existing LOs away from pg_largeobject
- Proper driver-support (JDBC)
- Possible to exclude from pg_dump
- Support pg_upgrade
 
And -hackers should agree on the goal to ultimately being merged into core and 
replace pg_largeobject.
