I think we certainly should wait for at least beta1 (not that we have a choice now), to make sure all of this gets at least some coverage. > What information we need to gather to make the decision and who's > expected to do it?

I think it should depend on how many problems we find, be it correctness or performance regressions. I don't know how to make that call without seeing how things are going during beta. And yes, I think this should involve some benchmarking too - generally a good thing to do during beta, and if it involves AIO, all the better. > FWIW I'm asking because of the RMT, but I'm also willing to do some of > the tests, if needed - but it'd be good to get some guidance. More testing would be welcome! Greetings, Andres Freund
