Yeah, I'm loving the 9.0 release---though I must have missed something,
I didn't catch the multimaster replication thing.  I thought the
streaming replication in 9.0 was to hot-standby systems (e.g., ones that
only do read-only queries) and that more multimaster like setups being
in-tree was something coming later on...  I need to take another look.
I haven't deployed a 9.0 server just yet.  Going to soon, though!
