Ah, but what is at the heart of the original posters email? It sounds to me
like they don't want to discuss the communities current effort (the slony in
your example), but want to discuss the idea of doing certification with a
different model (ie. let's say the topic of synchronus replication, again
following your example). If that's the case I see nothing wrong with
discussing that here, except to the extent it isn't an advocacy related
topic, it might be worth discussing on -general instead.
