I know so maintainig of PostgreSQL isn't easy. And it's normal so
everybody wont to see commit of your patch. The comunication with core
developers is best, but some times I have opinion so some patches are
lost - for example my little patch SQLSTATE, .. I remeber situation one
year ago with named params of plpgsql function. Patch waited half of year.

I don't wont to be negative :-)). PostgreSQL did big progress. Really. And
last modification of plpgsql helped my in work. But its human natural. I
looking for others nows. I am expectant for 2PC, hiearch queries, and ...
PostgreSQL isn't only sw for me, it's more like idol :-)
