Well, I thought and I'm sure it's been said, that plpgsql was our attempt to match oracle's pl/sql. As Tom has already suggested in the Thread regarding whether we should move PL's out or not, plpgsql is the only one that is entirely internal to the db. This is where I would clearly draw the line. If you have a PL, that is only reliant on the PostgreSQL being install, then you may have a case for getting it enabled. Otherwise not a chance. I would say plpgsql is likely to be the only PL in this situation for a long time, if the only one ever.
