Possibly I am misinterpreting what David said, but I think his opinion
is that synchronous log shipping in itself is useless, and that we
should hold 8.4 until we have that *and* slave-side query execution.
Suffice it to say that I disagree with the first position, and as for
the second, I will never again be willing to hold a release for one
single feature, no matter what it is. We've learned the folly of
managing the project that way several times over.
