So I assumed you wanted DBD:Pg.  DBD:Pg is a good example of an
interface that hasn't advanced a quickly as it would have had it been in
our CVS tree.  I have received a number of bug reports for it, and have
them in my mailbox.  I have no idea if they made it into the CPAN
version.  Moving interfaces out can be a problem too unless there is a
large enough group to grow it.
