I think his decision was probably based on this email from me:
(argh, sent too soon) https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/ca+tgmoa0zp4a+s+kosav4qfdz-wa56vlph8me86rmpsnkvw...@mail.gmail.com Nobody responded to that, and I have not seen any committer say that they are in favor of this. Against that, three committers (Tom, Stephen, me) have taken the view that they are opposed to at least some parts of it. No changes to the patch have resulted from those complaints. So this is just submitting the same thing over and over again and hoping that the fourth or fifth committer who looks at this is going to have a different opinion than the first three, or fail to notice the previous discussion. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
