There's no question about getting it reviewed and moving it forward; either Joe or myself will certainly be able to handle that if others don't step up. I believe there's just a question about if it should be done for 9.5 or only in master. That said, addressing Alvaro's comments and avoiding unnecessary code differences between the back branches and current might be sufficient justification to move forward with it for 9.5 too. I thought the refactoring was a good change in general. All, I've updated the page to add more details about the various items, though the only code changes at this point considered 'open' are this refactoring and the question regarding the 'row-level-security disabled' context which I posted a patch for discussion yesterday. Comments and help on these would certainly be welcome, of course. We're working on a set of documentation updates to hopefully finish up in the next week to add more details about RLS (additional sub-sections, coverage of the issue Peter raised, additional discussion of RETURNING, etc). Thanks! Stephen
