I think the other problem here is that the difficulty of getting the patch landed increases more than linearly with its size. If it's hard to get a patch of size X landed in one CommitFest, what are the chances of landing on three times as large, with three times as many changes to argue about? Getting things done in stages makes it easier to build on earlier work without worrying that you'll be asked to go back and redo everything. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
