As a counterargument, I'll point out that this won't be as critical as zic, especially if we're talking about an additional/optional set of tests. Also, Tim Bunce and I are right here, so the maintenance should not be that bad (and I'd hazard that a lot more people in the community know Perl/DBI than zic or stemmers). - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201001071315 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAktGJNQACgkQvJuQZxSWSshoHwCg9urTTT19m55soiIjuYKKuB5L PjYAoJbDAe7j4xsxsSFfVEkYDFpTjKE9 =48oW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
