Sure, but an aimless mandate to do testing for 4 (or 8, or 12) months doesn't necessarily buy you much, either. I'm good at focused activity - but there was nothing focused about 8.4 beta that I could see. Maybe we need some kind of TestFest process. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
