I don't think that's accurate. The number of patches per CF *has* edged upwards by 10-30% per CF over the years: http://www.databasesoup.com/2013/08/94-commitfest-1-wrap-up.html (I haven't done the rest of 9.4 yet or 9.5) No, it's not a jump up by 2X, but it is an upwards trend. And I think that Tom has it right that the additional patches we're seeing are additional large, complex patches. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
