Huh? The pgstat bug is a platform dependency, sure, but this datetime
bug is not platform-specific. I don't see that there's much commonality
in the criteria for whether to patch them.
My vote is to patch both --- I don't like shipping releases with known
bugs in them, when such bugs would have been patched with no discussion
just a week earlier. For sure we should triple-check the proposed
patches, but once that's done I don't see a reason to hold off.
The pgstat patch has already been checked to my satisfaction, but the
datetime patch needs more eyeballs on it; anyone out there have time to
look at it?
