I think that trade-off is probably bigger than you realise, given
that the customisability is a big feature. It's true that min() and
max() are pretty standard ways of doing things, so PostgreSQL is
pretty strange in this case. But hey, it's not like Postgres is the
_only_ strnage one here.

There _is_ replication for Postgres, and the "more than one database"
stuff will be handled nicely by schema support, I think.
