PostgreSQL reconsiders its process-based model

Yeah.

Without being familiar with the Postgres source, this seems to be what I call a "somersault problem": hard to break down into sub-goals. I have heard that the Postgres codebase is solid which makes it easier but it's still mature and highly complex. It doesn't sound feasible to me.

The original post does describe several sub-problems. The group could first chip away at global state, signals, libraries. They can do this before changing the process model in any way.
