I take back that part actually, in the sense that I certainly wouldn't push patches that I didn't think were good reasonable bugfixes the week before a release. But, again, I don't think I was changing any behavior that anybody was relying on. Had anybody tried this case, they would have immediately complained that it didn't work the way they would expect, like #14590. > But maybe you've adopted that policy already.

This is my count: For: Alvaro, Andrew, Tom Against: Michael, Robert, Andres Also, I contested every point that was raised about this patch. I don't think there were any remaining technical objections. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
