In the end, it's a judgement call. In this case, my assessment was that the risk was small enough that I could push after I saw the tarballs announced. In other cases I've judged differently and waited for longer. If the fix had been even simpler, I would have pushed it right away, but my confidence with grammar changes is not as high as I would like. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
