Ah, so you're planning on merging with PL/J?

The different solutions are different because of technical decisions
which they made differently, usually for very good reasons.   Slony-I
is trigger-based, Mammoth is log-based, and no matter which you prefer
they're not going to merge code.

BTW, our replication/clustering solutions include:

Slony-I
pgPool
Mammoth*
Postgres-R
pgCluster
Sequoia/p|cluster*
dbMirror/eRserv/other older solutions
ExtenDB*
Bizgres MPP*
Windows/Red Hat/Solaris clustered FS*

(*=proprietary/external)

I think any community packaged distribution should encourage this
diversity, not try to crush it.
