I think that's an irresponsible attitude for a committer to take. In practice, you are probably right, but we shouldn't treat our supposedly-stable releases as if they don't really need to be kept stable. That's a recipe for anybody back-patching anything they feel like whenever they like, which is a recipe for disaster. But maybe you've adopted that policy already. You back-patched a behavior change 2 days before a minor release when the vote was 2-3 against the change. If it matters, the three people opposing it all work for different companies, wheres your only concurring vote came from someone with whom you share an employer. I though the principle here was that we operate by consensus; that is not a consensus to proceed at all, let alone to back-patch on short notice. > > Seeing this stuff discussed and committed in haste gives me the sad > > face. > > Nah. Sorry, but you don't get to decide what makes other people sad. I'm with Michael on this one. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
