I think this is the most compelling argument for feature-based gating rather than promote version based. +1 on doing "#ifdef LIBPQ_HAS_PIPELINING" or along those lines and try to be consistent going forward. If we've truly failed to do so in X releases time, then we can revisit this. -- Daniel Gustafsson https://vmware.com/
