The other side of that coin is that the stuff that ends up getting pushed will, in many cases, be stuff that nobody cared a whole lot about. One thing that continues to bother me about the commitfest process is that it's created a default expectation that things get committed eventually. But many new ideas are just plain bad, and others are things that nobody but the author cares about. We need to remember that every new feature we add creates an ongoing maintenance burden, and might foreclose better ideas later. I'd like to see a higher threshold for accepting feature patches than we seem to have applied of late. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
