But the proposal is not to remove the _code_. The proposal is just to remove that "#ifdef" lines that would make it conditionally compilable, *if* the symbol that they test weren't always enabled. In other words, turn it from "always compiled, but you can turn it off although nobody does" into "always compiled". -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
