Some time back I discussed the inclusion of replication (e.g. postgres-R) into postgres. One of the technical reasons that I understand against such a move is the application dependence of replication. PostgresR requires a large amount of code change in postgres. All this leads to a bitter taste in the minds of my managers who want to use postgres but can't do without replication, and also they want to only rely on the main dev path of postgres itself.
