That would be OK here. CC-ing Nathan for RMT input, as this would
require a catversion bump.
I don't have an issue with a catversion bump as long as it's before GA
and it doesn't make it more likely we'll have to change it again after
GA.
Same. I'd think before RC1 would be preferable.
I'm cool with it. Sooner the better, of course.
I don't really mind catversion bumps during the beta period in general,
I'm in the camp that if there's a change that would make the release
better and it's not particularly risky, it's better to still sneak it in.
I feel I might be in the minority with that view though. Historically,
we've avoided fixes that need catversion bumps late in the beta period,
so that beta-testers don't need to pg_upgrade. I think that's a poor
tradeoff, but if we're changing long-standing policy, the RMT probably
isn't the right group for that. So, how do others feel?
