1. What project ideas we have?
Perhaps allowing SQL-only extensions without requiring filesystem files
would be a good project.
Don't we already have that in patch form? Dimitri submitted it as I
recall.
My recollection is that he tried to boil the ocean and also support
handing compiled C libraries to the database, which was enough to sink
the patch. It might be nice to support that if we could, and maybe it
could be a follow-on project.
I do think complete lack of support for non-FS extensions is *seriously*
hurting use of the feature thanks to environments like RDS and heroku.
As Pavel mentioned, untrusted languages are in a similar boat. So maybe
the best way to address these things is to advertise them as "increase
usability in cloud environments" since cloud excites people.
