Wow, I try to only list source code items that have some user-facing impact, and I don't think these do. I do realize how important they are though. This gets into the balance of mentioning items _users_ need to know about, vs. important improvements that _we_ know about. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Only you can decide what is important to you.
