I don't think a patch must necessarily consider all possible uses that the new feature may have. If we introduce parallel index creation, that's great; if pg_restore doesn't start using it right away, that's okay. You, or somebody else, can still patch it later. The patch is still a step forward. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
