That all sounds reasonable to me, and is about how I feel about it myself. Thinking about Tom's comments a little more, I think there are probably a few things that I could/should go back over in a little more detail, and I'm going to make time to do that, but I'm also going to work on 9.1 features as time permits. I will also take the time to respond to design proposals for proposed 9.1 projects, especially from anyone who similarly takes the time to respond to mine. I probably will not look at actual patches very much just yet. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
