I don't see a need for it to be in -core but I certainly see a need for
a solid replacement to something like Slony.

Absolutely. If people (who are not 2Q) are going to put energy into
this, it should be in an open, collaborative fashion just like any other
open source project.

The only reason I currently bothered with what I did is because I needed
to update a presentation. Had that not been the case, I wouldn't have
touched it because it (AFAICT) is not developed in the proper open
source way. That may or may not be intentional but I know it affects who
is willing to do things like test and provide feedback.

Sincerely,
