<para>
The current implementation of <acronym>GiST</acronym> within

<acronym>GiST</acronym> access is not concurrent; the
<acronym>GiST</acronym> index access is not concurrent, and the
<acronym>GiST</acronym> interface doesn't allow the development of certain
data types, such as digital trees (see papers by Aoki et al); and there
is not yet any support for write-ahead logging of updates in
<acronym>GiST</acronym> indexes.
