<p dir="auto">There's no real problem doing so that I'm aware of, it's just not something we've ever done because it hasn't been needed and the general position has been that the database deals in topology rather than geometry.</p>
<p dir="auto">Obviously this is an edge case and we're not talking about using it for the main data which in one sense is good but in another is bad because it means we're adding postgis just for one weird edge case feature that I'm not even convinced is a very good idea.</p>
