There is a really fundamental problem with this idea, which is that
"clustering" of this sort tends to require integration with the
operating system.

Because PostgreSQL is an OS-agnostic project (save for looking at the
world from a POSIX perspective), and Slony-I tries to be, too, that
makes it a fair bit challenging to turn either into "a clustering
solution."

You'll get a lot of "push-back" on attempts to change either project
because of the preference for that "agnosticism."
