Agreed, the names should be descriptive enough to contain a boundary. Any new test which is orders of magnitude slower than an existing test suite most likely will have one/more boundary characteristics not shared with existing suites. The test in [email protected] for autovacuum wraparound comes to mind as one that would warrant a new category. > If one introduced needs-private-lo, the present spelling of "all" would be > "needs-private-lo wal_consistency_checking". I think it makes sense to invent a new PG_TEST_EXTRA category which (for now) only contains wal_consistency_checking to make it consistent, such that "all" can be achieved by a set of categories. -- Daniel Gustafsson
