I don't want to be to selfish , but AFAIK postgresql is already delayed (according to PostgreSQL_8.4_Development_Plan page "http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_8.4_Development_Plan" beta1 should be out on 1st January 2009), so, what's matter another 2-3 weeks of delay? Or, maybe, I'm the only one who consider this a *must to have* feature. > Thus, I separated a few features (including row-level facility) to > reduce the scale of patches, and the dieted patches are now under > reviewing. > If we change our strategy *from now*, it will break anything. :( > Don't understand me wrong, the last thing I want is an unstable postgresql server. > > At least, I'll provide row-level facilities (both DAC and MAC) for the > first CommitFest of v8.5 development cycle.

This is why I want to help you (with more complex testings or *anything* you or others ask me) to push row level acl to vanilla 8.4, that why I don't think 2-3 more weeks matter. PLEASE try to push this patches to 8.4 (I don't see row level acl here: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFestInProgress).
