Thanks for your feedback and discussions here. > I've marked this commitfest item[1] as Returned with Feedback. Please feel > free to reopen it once you have an updated patch to share. At this time, I'd like to withdraw the commitfest item [1]. The original developer who proposed the patch is no longer at Intel, and the x86-simd-sort library's future is also uncertain. Due to ongoing changes on our end at this time, we won't be able to support this work going forward. :- ( [1] https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5607/ Akash Shankaran
