I'm of the opinion that the availability of schemas solves most of the
problems that people say they need cross-database access for. If you
want cross-database access, first say why putting your data into several
schemas in a single database doesn't get the job done for you.
(Obviously, this only addresses cases where you'd have put the multiple
databases under one postmaster, but that's the scenario people seem to be
concerned about.)
