Well, I was and remain concerned that the patch would do a great deal of violence to basic system structure. If I'd had adequate time to work on it I would have attempted to fix it, but I have not had that kind of time. In the meantime, the patch was not claimed and I was not particularly blocking anyone else from claiming it. Plenty of stuff gets committed around here without my blessing. >> currently the committer of record, and if he decides to push it in the >> next 24 hours, I'm not doing anything more to stand in his way than >> Robert already did. > Uh, did Robert delay work on the patch in any way? I was merely agreeing with the concerns Robert expressed in <CA+TgmoZt0Q=Odx-pL+9Zc6Qyf1A5_2hMBWgaEUdoWgW=jve...@mail.gmail.com> that we'd do well to avoid committing any more large-and-not-quite- fully-baked patches at this point.

TBH, every time somebody beats me up about not having dropped everything else to spend a month on this patch, it just makes me want to back away further. I haven't had the time, and I really could do without accusations of that being unfair. 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
