Has anyone applied this patch? Any comments on it?

The pg-hier thing? The fact that it hasn't gotten into the distribution
should give you a clue what the principal hackers think of it ;-).
Still, I hear there are people using it. Beware that it makes an
incompatible change in rule representation, which means you must initdb
when installing or removing it.
