A slightly more scientific basis for that would be to ask on
pgsql-general.

Yeah, that's what we've been hoping for for 12 years. I stopped holding
my breath awhile ago.
Mind you, I wouldn't be unhappy to see it go away; it's a kluge and always
has been. I'm just expecting lots of push-back if we try. And it's kind
of hard to resist push-back when you don't have a substitute to offer.
