I think that's really the bottom line here. If we insist on new major releases always being bug-compatible with prior releases, our ability to improve the software will go to zero. The solution we have opted for instead is to support back branches for a long time and to avoid making that type of change in a back branch. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
