Hey devs,

Last time I had a look on our current slony support it was pretty sad.
we support slony 1.0, that is by far deprecated now.

Unfortunatly, considering this, I think we couldn't say anymore PPA
support Slony.

Moreover, we talked with Robert Treat few weeks/months ago about the
current plugin architecture that was implemented for Slony. I really
think we should drop it as it is actually intrusive in some part of the
PPA code and lack some features (create a new node in the browser tree
as instance).

So my proposal is
1/ drop slony support
2/ refactor our current plugin architecture
3/ create a first and useful plugin to give people a live example. This
plugin could be slony itself obviously...1.2, 2.0 or both ;)

Comments ? thoughts ?
