PostGIS have its own priorities, development plan etc. PostgreSQL have to be self-consistent. In particular, it should have reference implementation of operator classes which extensions can use as the pattern. This is why it's important to maintain built-in geometric types. In short: once we implement it for built-in geometric types, you can ask PostGIS team to do the same for their geometry/geography. ------ Alexander Korotkov Postgres Professional: http://www.postgrespro.com The Russian Postgres Company
