I'm pretty clueless in regard to the PostGIS situation. Will it be
integrated with PostgreSQL in the future? What are the benefits of using
the builtin geometry types (since they don't have R-tree indexes)?

No. Wrong license.

Some of 'em do. By and large, though, they are more proof-of-concept
than industrial-strength code, IMHO. PostGIS is certainly a better bet
if it does what you want.

No. Wrong license.
If the license were changed to be BSD compatible, are there other
barriers to adoption?
Cheers,

Not sure, but the question is moot. We've already asked the PostGIS
guys to consider a license change, and they've declined.

Is it possible that in some future version of Windows, only .NET (CLR) PE

I understand native is needed for drivers etc. but at some point the driver
spec may even require MSIL and MSIL will add instructions to support drivers.

Most people are rejecting the new "supercharged"

The new phones are just too complicated to use.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
