Hi Michael and Peter,
Thanks a lot for the elaboration of the patch process for PG17. It's
really unfortunate missing the the development cycle of PG17.
Just some context of why we hurry to try to catch up with PG17.
There are certain government, financial and other enterprise organizations that
have very strict requirements about the encrypted communication and more
specifically about fine grained params like the TLS ciphers and curves that
they use. The default ones for those customers are not acceptable. Any products
that integrate Postgres and requires encrypted communication with the Postgres
would have to fulfil those requirements.
So if we can have this patch in the upcoming new major version, that means
Postgres users who have similar requirements can upgrade to PG17.
Thanks!

Echoing with Peter, https://commitfest.postgresql.org/48/ is planned
to be the first commit fest of the development cycle for Postgres 18.
v17 is in feature freeze state and beta, where only bug fixes are
accepted, and not new features.
