We want to move people over to managing languages via extensions, and leaving those tools unchanged will not serve that goal. However, I don't mind labeling them as deprecated and not troubling to point out that they could be used for installing non-PL extensions. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
