Re: Three weeks left until feature freeze

Thomas,

I'm starting to have second thoughts about this suggestion.  I was 
enthusiastic about it at the summit, but I was unaware of the sheer size 
of PL/Java.  38,000 lines of code is 8% of the total size of Postgresql 
... for *one* PL.

Dave Cramer acquainted me with some of the difficulties of doing a Java 
PL today, and I understand why it needs to be that large.  However, 
38,000 lines of code -- much of it in a non-C language -- presents a 
possible debugging/maintenance major headache, especially if you someday 
left the project for some reason.

Maybe we do need to look at a plug-in build tool, instead.

This attitude does you no credit, Thomas.
