The CommitFest ends 2/15, but that's not really the relevant metric. Patches will be marked Returned with Feedback if they are not updated within 4-5 days of the time they were last reviewed, or more aggressively as we get towards the end. Also, if a patch needs a major rewrite, it should be marked Returned with Feedback and resubmitted for this CommitFest. It sounds like this patch meets that criterion; in addition, Tom has expressed concerns that this might be something that should be committed early in the release cycle rather than at the very end. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
