I don't think you got the point: such pronouncements would have exactly zero influence on Red Hat, or any other distro I'm familiar with. The *assumption* is that upstream thinks their new release is stable, else they wouldn't have made it. The distros are in the business of not believing that, until more proof emerges --- preferably from their own testing. I know that this is the mind-set at Red Hat, and I'm pretty sure SUSE and Debian work the same way. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
