Oh, sorry, the subsequent discussion moved over to pgsql-hackers:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-04/msg00621.php
and -patches:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2007-04/msg00374.php

Those are good places to look if a discussion on -bugs or other lists
seems to tail off...
