Erlang-based opensource publish-subscribe servers

[Zvi]

Hi,

Just found about pg module (not pg2).
http://erldocs.com/R14B/stdlib/pg.html?i=18&search=pg

Looks like it can be used to implement pubsub.
For each topic create process group (pg:create/1), then each
subsriber's process joins topic's process group (pg:join/2).
Publish maps cleanly to pg:send/2.

Any ideas, why not to use this module?
I guess process groups use registered names, so that's a
disadvantage.
Another problem is, that docs call this module "experimental".

thanks,
Zvi
