Well perhaps it is time to trim Contrib even further. E.g; Why is ltree still in contrib? What prevents it from being in core? Why is pgcrypto,pgstattuple and pg_freespacemap in contrib? I would almost think it makes sense to have: /modules - This is for things that are indeed modules they will be installed by default but are not *internal* like sum() or generate_series() /contrib - This is for things like adminpack, dblink, pgbench Sincerely, Joshua D.
