I was thinking of responding along those same lines, so thanks for saving me the time. I'd just add one more point: there's also three years' worth of not-then-known data loss bugs that will never be fixed in PG 11. Since the point of using a database is normally that you trust it to store your data, that's an independent reason that this project is just irresponsible as-defined. If you have doubts about whether any of these concerns apply to you, I'd suggest trawling the cumulative release notes at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/ It's a pretty good bet that anything that was fixed in the oldest-then-supported-branch since November 2023 is probably an issue for v11 as well. regards, tom lane
