I'm not terribly excited about it either, but mostly because it seems like a lot of churn for a minimal gain, and it'll be consistent for about 6 months before somebody re-introduces a conflicting usage. I do not, on the other hand, believe that there's no point in being consistent about anything unless we're consistent about everything; that's a straw man. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
