All, Robert and I had a great discussion on the phone where we were both able to voice our concerns and feelings about RLS being pushed. By way of summary, we agree that it was pushed ahead of its time and that it should have waited for at least another review, which likely would have happened even prior to the October commitfest.
I've apologized for jumping the gun on pushing it, it wasn't the best
move for the project as a whole and I realize that now. Having other
committers review and "+1" a large patch before moving forward with it
is important, even if there is already consensus on the overall
design, as it will help minimize the bugs and issues in PostgreSQL.
Thanks,
Stephen
