I don't see a real need to back-patch this. I mean, it probably wouldn't break anything, but it feels more like we're raising our standards than fixing bugs per se. I don't think it benefits us when users see the release notes for a new minor release series cluttered with essentially non-critical fixes. It makes people worry about whether upgrading is safe. You might brand those people as silly, but they (indirectly) pay my mortgage. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
