This whole discussion is getting tiresome. It is a lot of handwaving 
about how smart and autopiloted Slony should appear to inexperienced 
users who "just want to replicate the entire database" without having a 
clue what they are actually asking for (the users, not the people 
arguing on this list).

I don't say that this is by itself a bad idea. But a statement like

     "just create an exact copy"

should be backed by a 20-30 page technical concept describing how to 
actually achieve this goal.
