Yes, if we're just tracking patches or major proposals in a bug tracker. The hard part is actually deciding that they're closed. It's a big very cat-like herd of community members here. Reaching a consensus on taking action takes a long time and much teeth gnashing. Note that some people here are pushing a "tracker" as a way to "organize" the mailing lists and keep all discussions about the proposed changes from design to committing. I think they're crazy but they keep proposing that their favourite magical "tracker" will do it automatically. I think it will just end up looking like Bruce's lists where we couldn't even figure out how many patches were buried in those 2,000 messages. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's On-Demand Production Tuning -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
