Tom,
Frankly, what we have here is a large patch, with insanely difficult correctness requirements, written by a Postgres newbie. If it doesn't scare you, you haven't been paying attention. We have a long track record of problems with patches written by people who thought they were ready to do major backend hacking without having bitten off some smaller chunks first.
If that was the case, why didn't you say it 4 months ago? It seems rather unfair to Kaigai and everyone else who worked on it to be getting cold feet about the entire concept after several months of debugging.
