The hunk that changes the messages might need some thought so that it doesn't cause a translation regression. But in general I see no reason not to do this before we release beta1. It seems safe enough, and changes that reduce the need for packagers to carry private patches are, I think, generally a good thing. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
