At least in that case I was, for a long while, basically hoping for more input, probably unwisely so. I think the 9.4 jsonb compressability thing essentially was in a somewhat similar state for months; the proposed patch was mostly there, but we didn't press ahead. I think deadlines and multiple people being blocked help tremendously with such issues. They're often too complex for an individual and/or delayed due to lack of concensus. > But if we end up waiting just as long but with nothing substantial > getting committed in the meantime, that will be awful.
