Well, reputation-wise we're already losing every time somebody's server crashes on 9.4.2 and finds it won't start, where it did start fine with 9.4.1. Maybe they simply wanted to change shared_buffers and the server won't start anymore. Some people even update binaries with the server running; if they don't restart immediately, it could be several days before it fails to start. It's pretty scary. > If we really want to do this, let's do it. I am not trying to throw a wrench > into things. I just really don't want to have to go back, yet again.
