Maybe, but pg_migrator surely doesn't fit that. And neither does about a third of the other contrib modules, IMO. > Because of that, removing > it as Peter suggests doesn't seem like a good idea to me. contrib means many things to many people, and that's exactly the problem in my mind: It doesn't mean anything in particular. If we were to separate it into - examples - production-quality add-ons with small user base - production-quality add-ons that everyone wants, but we keep them as plugins because plugins are cool - experimental code that we wanted to ship anyway - (historically) differently licensed code then these discussions would be much simpler. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
