Nobody has suggested bouncing HS; there is only a debate about how soon it's likely to be appliable. Any company who imagined they had a guarantee about it getting into 8.4 is simply misguided. As for SEPostgres, I think that bouncing it entirely is quite a possible outcome, but that's because there does not appear to be adequate interest to justify taking on a major maintenance burden (and anyone who thinks it won't be a major burden is equally misguided --- at the very least it will be an endless source of bug reports that we'll be forced to classify as security issues, with all the hoop-leaping that that entails). We are not bound to accept features that are only wanted by a small number of users, no matter how badly those users want them. 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
