I'm suggesting that as many as possible changes we would like to make can happen in one release. This is for the benefit of users, so we dont make every release a source of incompatibilities. And that release should be the first one where we have online upgrade possible, which is one after next. -- 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
