[postgis-devel] WKTRaster: RASTER and CHIP

[Obe, Regina]

Playing devlis advocate to Kevin's devils advocate.

I personally think its fine and am with Paul on this.

1) WKT Raster has to live somewhere and it should live in the same
repository with PostGIS because that is the most likely place people
will expect to find it.

2) It is going to have to be back-patched at some point whether it lives
in its own branch in PostGIS repository or someplace else in the world.
So I consider the whole discussion about the difficulty of back-patching
moot.

Thanks,
Regina

Seriously?  I always thought back-patching and maintaining a current
branch (autobuilds, website, documentation, etc) 
take up considerable resources.
