Thank you!

Now there's a masterclass in making someone feel great and guilty in
the same sentence ;-)

Aye-aye Capn' :-)

EDB folks reached out to me a few months ago to assign a license to
the project, which I did and it is now a Postgres-licensed project
[1].

Given the above, it is safe to assume that this tool is at least being
maintained by EDB, at least internally for their customers. I would
request them to contribute the changes back in the open.

Regardless of that, please rest assured that I will work on making it
compatible with the current supported versions of Postgres. Lack of
time is not an excuse anymore :-)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
