Yeah, I think that's the only feasible answer at this point. Maybe a month or two back we could have done differently, but there's not a lot of runway now. Once we do drop src/tools/msvc from HEAD, we should make a point of reminding -packagers about it, in hopes that they'll work on the transition sooner than next May. regards, tom lane
