Yeah. I have been thinking of looking through the oldest CF entries and proposing that we just reject any that look permanently stalled. It doesn't do much good to leave things in the list when there's no apparent interest in pushing them to conclusion. But I've not done the legwork yet, and I'm a little worried about the push-back that will inevitably result. regards, tom lane
