The idea here is to keep documented only the new function names, but mention in the release notes that aliases are kept, and that those will be dropped in a couple of years (see for example 5d58c07a for initdb). This will give plenty of time to monitoring script maintainers to adapt to the new world order. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
