I'm not saying this patch can't make progress, but I think the chances of this being ready to commit any time in the v16 release cycle, let alone at the beginning, are low. This patch set has been around since 2019, and here Andres and I are saying it's not even really reviewable in the shape that it's in. I have done some review of it previously, BTW, but eventually I gave up because it just didn't seem like we were making any progress. And then a long time after that people were still finding many server crashes with relatively simple test cases. I agree that the feature is desirable, but I think getting there is going to require a huge amount of effort that may amount to a total rewrite of the patch. -- Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
