We just had a conversation about whether or not to massively break backward compatibility. The consensus was, as I'm sure you are aware, was "no". So why bring it up again, and with absolutely zero justification for the proposed changes? Each and every knob on this list was added for some reason, and we should remove it when, and only when, that reason either no longer applies, or there is some countervailing reason. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
