However, to evaluate the patch and its usefulness, we need security
experts who want to use this capability or have used it in other
databases.
With that sort of features, usually what happens in other projects, is
that despite their evaluation during beta period - they are explicitly
marked and considered as 'beta', even when product reaches release
status.
Maybe PostgresSql should follow that tactic too. After all, security
stuff needs to be tested and exposed for sometime before considered
rock solid, and trustworthy.
Which of course doesn't mean, that it shouldn't start in beta's.
