There has been action to clean up and remove some contrib modules, and
this is good. I would like to suggest that we should try to move one or
two the other way, namely right into the core proper, on the ground that
they have widespread applicability and should have maximum visibility.
I'm talking particularly about pgcrypto and tsearch2, and the main thing
lacking that I see with these is documentation.
I don't see a strong need for moving pgcrypto into core, and there's at
least one argument against it: if someone needs a crypto-free version of
postgres for use someplace with benighted laws, they would be screwed.
Doesn't our inclusion of md5() pretty much blow that argument away?
(Just asking).
