I really don't think this is a correct characterisation. What is true, I 
think, is that many remain to be convinced that the benefits of any 
proposed change outweigh the likely pain, and I suspect many are also 
uncertain about what's happening in the SCM space and prefer to wait 
until the dust settles some.

It's also fair to say that this is a subject about which we usually get 
much more noise from partisans of other SCM systems than from the 
relatively small number of people who actually have to maintain the 
postgresql code. (As Tom has pointed out, our biggest pain point is the 
occasional wish to move things across directories.)
