It's a totally different language layer without wide-spread popularity
and, as of last year, still figuring out how to model updates and
transactions, with a Python dependency. It is good work, but to build
it in and to commit maintaining it seems very premature, to my eyes.
Also, it would tie someone -- possibly the htsql maintainers -- to a
upgrade and maintenance policy not unlike Postgres itself, and that is
a very expensive proposition while they are still figuring things out.
