Hi,

Thanks for the significant work and effort invested in this project. I
believe it has the potential to be valuable for PostgreSQL over the
next 10 years or many more.

I noticed that this topic has gone through a long series of
discussions in the past. Have we reached consensus on the necessity of
the project and its overall direction? As we’ve seen before, many
ambitious initiatives are started but don’t always make it to
completion. Projects with a clearly articulated roadmap and milestones
tend to attract and sustain contributor interest more effectively.

Assuming there is interest in continuing and contributing to this
work, the amount of historical context to absorb could be intimidating
for new contributors. Do we currently have a wiki page or similar
document that summarizes the project’s current state and future
direction? If not, it might be worthwhile to create one—not only to
lower the barrier to entry for new contributors, but also to support
long-term maintainability.
