I think its sad we can't even attempt a technical conversation without you making snide ad hominem attacks that aren't even close to being true on a personal level, nor accurate in a technical sense. Your argument applies to any and all deprecations, not just the one proposed. And it still applies to the deprecation schedule you outlined, since upgrades aren't always across consecutive releases. I'm the wrong person to lecture about upgrade incompatibility problems since I've spoken out against them for years. This style of debate makes it impossible to get new ideas across and holds us all back. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
