I'm worried about that breaking things and us only noticing down the road. This doesn't fix a problem that we are actively hitting, and as you say it's arguably compliant to do it differently. Potential protocol incompatibilities are a dangerous area. I think before doing something like this we ought to at least verify that the most popular native drivers won't have a problem with the change. Maybe pgjdbc, npgsql, the popular go ones and rust-postgres? Greetings, Andres Freund
