That's exactly what I was going to say -- I'd prefer that any interested parties concentrate on producing a *really good* replication implementation, which might eventually be integrated into PostgreSQL itself. Producing a "generic API" for something that really doesn't need genericity sounds like a waste of time, IMHO.
