OK, I read through it. Wow, it was long. Exactly what is missing from
the patch that he can add? It is mostly having tablespaces independent
of databases? There were so many proposals in there I am not sure
where it all landed. The cleaned out version link to from the TODO list
should be slightly easier reading, but it clearly goes all over the
place. I can try and read through it and distill down the ideas if that
would help.
