However, if the new hstore type (compatible with the old one) is the

of course it has to actually maintain backwards compatibility for that
argument to hold)
Yeah --- all of this turns on whether hstore improvements can be 100%
upwards compatible or not. If they are, I don't object to including them;
I'd have said it was wasted effort, but if the work is already done then
that's moot.
Clearly there are people who want it, or else they would not have
sponsored the work.
We seem to have an emerging consensus on the compatibility issue.
