What I have in mind is that I'd like the zope.app.rotterdam egg to not
be installed at all.

Thanks, I like to hear that.  There are 3 things that need to happen to
take PGStorage to the next level:

- ZODB currently does a lot of work to provide MVCC, but PGStorage
inherits full MVCC support from PostgreSQL.  ZODB should treat storages
that provide native MVCC a little differently.

- The current packing algorithm is probably suboptimal.  It passes the
ZODB pack tests (well, it did when I last ran them), but there's a good
chance it consumes gobs of memory or locks too much of the database,
preventing other stuff from running concurrently.

- People need to use it and test it.  Particularly me. :-)

If we want to continue that discussion we should move it to zodb-dev (or
whatever the ZODB list is called these days).
