[Qgis-developer] Bye bye SPIT?

[Nathan Woodrow]

-1 from me.  IMO leave it for 2.0 release.  Maybe add a message into the

use X to upload into PostGIS"

I have never had issues with uploading layers into postgis using SPIT
however on the other had dbmanger still feels very touch and go with if it
will work or not.
