If it's all that stable, what's the point in EOLing it? The only extra pain it causes is having to check whether each patch needs to be backpatched to it or not. (Maybe this means we can announce today that we're going to EOL it in a distant future, say in a year.) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
