None. People don't always follow my advice, regrettably. They ask comparative questions like "What is the risk of upgrade?", "How much testing is required?" I never met a customer yet that has an automated test suite designed to stress the accuracy of results under concurrent workloads, so the inability to control the way a new feature operates makes such questions more likely to be given an answer that indicates greater effort and higher risk. That is exactly what I personally would wish to avoid. An off switch encourages people to use new features. It is not a punishment or an admonition to the developer. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
