Try searching the list archives.
I should've mentioned that one of the reasons it doesn't seem to be that high on many people's priority lists is that it's fairly easy to implement with triggers and updatable views. There's a greater performance cost than I'd expect to pay for the same thing done as a built-in feature, but it works well enough. Many ORMs and application frameworks also offer similar capabilities at the application level. So I think temporal tables are one of those nice-to-haves that so far people just find other ways of doing.
