..as does every other patch for Postgres before possibly it lands on
mainline. But that's neither good nor bad per se, IMO.

Well, yeah, maybe Postgres-R is going to loose that sale as well. But
hey, it's not long ago since you've open sourced it. What makes you
think that you've already "lost that sale"? I for example didn't find
time to look at the Replicator sources up until now.

However, IMO there's more to a fork than just having different source
trees. When I hear of a fork, I think of something more like SQL-Ledger
vs. LedgerSMB, where major disagreements play a role. Everything else is
just ordinary evolution of software ;-)
