Our experience with "hold the release waiting for a fix for bug X" decisions has been consistently bad. Furthermore, if we can't produce a patch we trust by Monday, I would much rather that we not do it in a rushed fashion at all. I think it would be entirely reasonable to consider making off-cadence releases in, perhaps, a month, once the dust is entirely settled. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-committers mailing list (pgsql-committers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-committers
