You want the fix --- have people complete their patches long before the last commit fest --- no matter of adjustment is going to fix that. If they can't complete it early, fine, but don't expect we can reach some ideal development schedule by adjusting things --- sometimes ideal just isn't possible. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
