The problem with moving all contribs to gborg is that sometimes it's
required to change many modules, for example, because of changing
GiST interface. Tom saves a lot of working for contrib authors, when he
change code in core. I'm not sure, gborg would provide easy access for
such kind of things. tsearch2, particularly, is maintained in pgsql CVS.
