Hmm ... seems like the big question is not "where to keep them" but
"who's gonna maintain them" ... without active maintenance they're
just dead bits wherever they're stored, because MySQL and Postgres
are both moving targets.

Domination ;-) so it would be good if somebody stepped up to the
plate and volunteered to take care of 'em. Anybody?
