I don't think a 4-CF release is going to help. It's just going to be 2 more months before everything else that has been done gets released. Call me a pessimist if you will, but zero times an arbitrary number of CommitFests is still zero. The only solution here is to get more people working on these patches. I have volunteered to work on HS and would also be willing to work on SR. Work can be reviewing or actual code. But I cannot work on a patch I cannot see, and neither can anyone else. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
