No, we always try to backpatch these so that we can have buildfarm animals that build all live branches. I really don't see that we need to be in a hurry with this. There is no requirement that we support VS2022 on day one of its release. Three months really won't matter. Impatience doesn't serve us well here. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
