Well, IIRC, the debate was primarily of *your* making. Almost everyone else on the thread was fine with the original patch, and it was nearly done for 9.2 before you stepped in. I can't find anyone else on that thread who thought that backwards compatibility was more important than fixing the API. --Josh -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
