In my mind "RC" means "only critical bug fixes" --- ie, just because it's a bug fix doesn't mean it won't be held for later. But RC doesn't mean "no changes, period". It means we're trying to test the thing without any more code churn than absolutely necessary. The real problem at the moment is that we should have been in an "only bug fixes" mode for some time already, and you just pushed in two or three patches that look more like feature additions to me (and I gather to Peter as well). *That* is the reason people are getting antsy about whether we are RC-ready. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
