Keep in mind that we do not offer any promises to fix items listed in the Older Bugs section; as I said elsewhere, it's mostly a dumping ground for things that get ignored later. I think it's fine to add it there, if Jon wants to keep track of it, on the agreement that it will probably not lead to a backpatched fix. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
