It's a pity that some expectations have been raised about features that
we haven't seen patches for, e.g. MERGE and/or some form of UPSERT, and
recursive queries. I am not pointing fingers, but I do think we need
some way in which the community can ensure that certain goals are met,
or at least try to help if things fall in a ditch, rather than just
relying on hackers scratching whatever itch they happen to get in
splendid isolation and then trying to merge the results.
