In the 8.3->8.4 cycle I did think it was pretty half-baked. We've
stomped many of the worst limitations since then, so I think that for
8.4->9.0 it might be a credible solution. We won't really know unless
we try.

Agreed, we're not holding up 9.0 for it. I think the main bit of work
that would be needed to put it into contrib would be to SGML-ize the
docs. Don't know if Bruce has got the time to get that done.
