Well, that is good. I wonder if it would be practical to have a "FeedbackFest" sometime between now and the release of 8.4 - not to actually commit anything, but to do preliminary reviews of patches for 8.5 while there's still plenty of time for them to be revised and submitted earlier in the cycle. I would be willing to put in quite a bit of time to reviewing other people's patches if it meant that someone knowledgeable would take a quick look at mine. (Unfortunately my current area of interest is the optimizer, so the pool of sufficiently knowledgeable people is pretty small.) In any case, thanks for your thoughts on this subject - I appreciate your taking the time to write back. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
