Without even thinking about it: * linitial vs lfirst vs lnext. That thing still induces an impedance mismatch when reading code for me, and I believe a good number of other people. * Two 'string buffer' APIs with essentially only minor differences. * A whole bunch of libpq APIs. Admittedly that's a bit more exposed than lots of backend only things. * The whole V0 calling convention that makes it so much easier to get odd crashes. Admittedly that's all I could come up without having to think. But I do vaguely remember a lot of things we did not do because of bwcompat concerns. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
