Actually, JDBC, libpqxx, ODBC, plPHP, plPerlNG are all really easy to push
over to pgFoundry ... they have very active, and visible, developers
responsible for them ... is anyone out there directing work on pl/pgsql or
pl/TCL? If so, they are easy to move also ...

Its easier to *not add* something to core (ie. plPHP/plPerlNG) then it is
to remove something (see JDBC) ...
