Subject: Re: formats that duplicate dynamics

Cool, I forgot about the lack of SSE2 in postgres. So our only problem is that if we drop the postgres format and start using dynamic, Dhiru's ettercap patch will again be obsolete and if we submit a third patch with a third tag, the ettercap maintainers might start to think we are idiots.

That could be solved with a thin format though.
