... So, almost a month has gone by, and we still don't have multirange unnest(). Looking at the open items list, it doesn't look like we have anything that would require a catversion bump. Does that mean that we're going to ship pg14 without multirange unnest? That seems pretty sad, as the usability of the feature is greatly reduced. Just look at what's being suggested: https://postgr.es/m/20210715121508.ga30...@depesz.com To me this screams of an incomplete datatype. I far prefer a beta3 initdb than shipping 14GA without multirange unnest. I haven't seen any announcements about beta3, but it's probably not far off; I think if we're going to have it, it would be much better to give it buildfarm cycles several days in advance and not just the last weekend.
