Yes, I strongly agree. I've been in the position of having to get things working on obscure platforms, and was definitely not fond of finding old rotten code that was kept around "just in case", which nobody actually cared about (or was familiar with) any more. Having been on that side of the fence, I don't feel guilty saying that if someone *really* cares about running the very latest Postgres on an unsupported platform, they can do some digging around in the archives and repository and do the necessary legwork. Let's not pretend to support platforms we have no practical way of verifying. -- Abhijit -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
