Because Paul hasn't fixed the outstanding problems with it: as submitted, it reverted the painfully-agreed-to formatting behavior for the inet datatypes. This could easily be dealt with (IMHO) by re-patching as we'd done for 7.1. But Paul had an additional agenda item: he wanted to see our code restructured as a pure wrapper around the published libbind subroutines. I have no problem with that --- as long as someone else does the legwork. So far, neither Paul nor anyone else has. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
