Thanks. We'd love to be an early adopter; we already build some parts
from source (we use pg_dump --snapshot). We require that different
databases do not block each other and would prefer to avoid the added
complexity of running multiple servers so we'd love to try it out as
soon as it is ready.

Thanks for all the info and your help with this issue.
