Given the amount of patching that's gone on, branching 8.1 earlier would have meant a great deal more work for the committers, in the form of double-patching stuff. And I don't know about the other committers, but I've certainly had no spare bandwidth for reviewing or applying 8.1-cycle patches anyway. So I think we made the right move to delay the branch. Core hasn't really talked about the point yet, but I suspect we'll make the branch after 8.0RC1 appears (which hopefully will be Real Soon). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
