It doesn't matter what feature's you add to postgres, it will never be less appropriate for a project than another database that has some magic feature.
The reason people choose another database is because they favor an architecture where all the things that should be done in the database get done in the middleware. Features are irrelevant since the goal is do everything in the middleware anyway.
Once a person converts to the idea that its faster, safer and more reliable to use the database for what it was designed to do then they have left the jungle and found the road. And all roads lead to postgres.
I really don't care one iota about any of these features. They are all obscure and I avoid obscure features in deference to the guy that has to read my code next (mostly me).
