I'd be interested to see what the reaction would be if I reverted this patch out of the blue. I suspect it would not be positive. More generally, I don't want the PostgreSQL source code repository to ground zero for a revert war. > Subsequent, possibly private, discussion between you and Stephen could then > occur before making any conclusions you form public so that others can learn > from the experience and ponder whether anything could be changed to mitigate > such situations in the future. I'd be happy to discuss this with Stephen, either in person, by phone, or over public or private email. Unfortunately, although he's posted many other emails to this list over the last couple of days, he hasn't chosen to respond, publicly or privately, to my statement that he must have read the email in which I asked him to hold off committing (because he addressed technical feedback from that same email) and that he went ahead and did it anyway. -- 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
