If you're suggesting that we should back-patch hstore 1.1 into 9.1, there might not be a technical reason why we couldn't do it, but there are certainly project-policy reasons. Removing operators, or indeed changing any SQL interface at all, is exactly the kind of change we do not make in back branches. > To make that easier to maintain, there's a patch in the queue > implementing default_major_version so that we can ship hstore--1.0.sql > and hstore--1.0--1.1.sql and still have that command just works: > CREATE EXTENSION hstore VERSION '1.1'; If the argument for this patch is only to support doing something like the above, I'd vote for rejecting it entirely. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
