I would argue that commercial products need to get a clue and stop 
playing bondage with their users to help stop their imminent and frankly 
obvious downfall from the Open Source competition.

This "feature" as it is called can be developed externally and has zero 
reason to exist within PostgreSQL. If the feature has the level of 
demand that people think that it does, then the external project will be 
very successful and that's cool.
