This sort of thing doesn't particularly upset me. I don't believe we should hide the fact that certain features might need more work. If it inspires someone to work on making improvements, wouldn't it be worthwhile keeping these? A huge amount of stuff gets done around here because people find some inspiration to make things better. I don't believe all those people need to experience the problems first-hand to be able to fix them. Plenty of people arrive here just looking to get involved and make a difference. I presume that something like this being mentioned in the docs likely has a much better "we actually want this feature" ratio than the TODO list does. I also imagine it's more likely to inspire users of PostgreSQL to get involved in developing than the TODO list is. -1 from me. David
