That's apparent. On June 9th, you wrote "Yes, I'll get with it ..."; on June 16th, you wrote "I'll get on it shortly." Two weeks later you're backing off from "shortly" to "eventually". It is unfair to the community to assert a vigorous opinion of how something should be handled in the code and then refuse to commit to a time frame for providing a patch. It is even more unreasonable to commit to providing a timely patch (twice) and then fail to do so. We are trying to finalize a release here, and you've made it clear you think this code needs revision before then. I respect your opinion, but not your right to make the project release timetable dependent on your own schedule, and not your right to shut other people out of working on the issues you've raised. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
