In the normal course of events I'd expect that we'd put out 8.3.2
in a month or so. I'm not quite convinced that this issue is worth
speeding the cycle all by itself. We've done that for data-loss
issues but never before for a mere performance problem.
The main reason I wanted to make some noise about this is to find out
if anyone is actually trying to call eval_const_expressions (or
relation_excluded_by_constraints, which it turned out needed to change
also) from 8.3 add-on code. If anyone squawks we could think about a
faster update ...
