And, actually, for some reason I hadn't thought of the tsearch as being
another 'INDEX' type ... I crawl back over and be quiet now :)

Oleg, as far as commits are concerned, I have no problems with extending
the privileges to one of your guys for this, just email me seperately who,

with new tserach v2 we're pretty close to that day. we need more testing,
more suggestions and more documentation. There are several issues remains,
mostly with core GiST not tsearch. The most important is concurrency support !
We've several times planned to work on it, but real life  is rather complex

I remember Tom saying that builtin functions calls are a lot faster than
loadable C functions.

If that can be fixed, then it *could* stay loadable.

Also, having built-in full text indexing is very desirable. And I don't
see any even nearly as good competing fulltext indexing modules
anywhere.

If we had to move something *out* of core in order to get tsearch in,
then I personally would not mind if all geometry types go to gborg, but
I'm sure there are some users who would mind ;)

Why part of the core distribution, and not just left as a loadable module,

I think text search is a pretty important facility that should
eventually be part of the core distribution.  It's more likely to get
there from contrib than from gborg ...

because tsearch lives under pgsql source tree, in contrib directory though.
I'd never asked for any rights (I have enough beside postgresq :),
but practice of development life is so, that Bruce has no time to apply
them in reasonable time. Last patch waited about 1 month.
I'd like to
see tsearch in contrib directory because we have direct benefit from that -
rather often Tom  change  contrib sources to sync with his changes in
main tree. This is the only real reason why I want to stay under postgres
tree. I was afraid, and Bruce actually wrote he will be busy,
we couldn't submit our new version.

Freebsd has separate rights for core and ports.

It wouldn't ... is there a reason why tsearch needs to be in the pgsql CVS
any more then, say, ODBC drivers, or the tcl interface, or the python
interface, or ... ?
