Comment (by EvanCarroll):

 Very cool robe, I think of a guide on how to contribute to the plugin
 would be very much appreciated. I had a difficulty building it the last
 time. I still think you'd get more users and more active development if
 this wasn't part of core. And, we could distribute it separately through
 pgxn or something rather than having to have users pry it out of a zip
 file to upgrade the Census data without upgrading PostGIS.

 In other news, Census.gov is now blacklisting if you download more than 30
 GB. I'm not sure if we should do anything about it. I'm currently in touch
 with the Census on getting it resolved for myself. If I can get the
 contacts I'll see if they're down for adding a perma-whitelist for PostGIS
 loader based on useragent or query-string. Akamai has now blocked two of
 my IPS, so I'm guessing this is something new with 2017.
