We're having a growing zoo of daemons that can be regarded as tightly

Maybe a super daemon (in win32 probably pg_ctl), controlling
postmaster and all those helper processes (accessible through pgsql
functions, of course) would be the solition. This keeps the kernel
clean, separates backend shmem from helper processes and enables
control over all processes.
And this will be ready when?
This is certainly 8.2 stuff. I'm sufficiently glad if the
instrumentation stuff that was posted pre-8.0 and left out those days
because committers ran out of time makes it into 8.1...
I thought we were discussing what could be done regarding AVitB
between now and feature freeze for 8.1 in about 2 weeks. This surely
doesn't come into that category.
I agree with former posters that we should have a default on AV to have
a system that performs correct out of the box for smaller installations.
Even a functionally cut-down version of AV running by default that has
to be stopped and replaced by a more sophisticated solution for high
performance installations is better than now.
