The core team sees its scheduling powers as more like this: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-08/msg01803.php not as determining now what the 8.5 schedule will be. And yeah, the reason it's a private list has to do with security and similar problems, not with discussions of long-term project scheduling. The latter *should* happen on hackers, which is exactly where we're having it. I think if the -hackers community got deadlocked, core would try to use its authority to break the deadlock, but I see no indication that that's needed here. 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
