I thought the idea was to clear out the underbrush of small, ready-to-go patches. How old they are doesn't enter into that. There's a separate issue about what to do to prioritize old patches so they don't linger indefinitely. We had a discussion about that at the dev meeting, but I don't think any specific mechanism was agreed to? regards, tom lane
