It should be. I spoke to one of their lead developers at last year's 
Linux Expo. Had to tell him to get with the program and do replication 
properly. It is "the" feature they need.

MySQL has replication for God's sake, how can Postgres' claim blah blah 
superiority and not have such a killer feature?

I told the guy straight up that nobody cares about the purity of their code.
They want features they can use and stability enough to just not break.

Otherwise everyone is just running MySQL instead since it's the only 
open source alternative with it.

If it's high on the Postgres' hackers, it's about time! (Perhaps I 
kicked a bit to get on with it?)

Less superior-than-thou bashing and more replication I say!
