Any policy which permits a 3000 line code drop, whether to the regression tests or otherwise, without prior discussion is, IMHO, a very bad policy. It's not as if regression tests never break anything or cause any problems. Do they need the same level of review as WARM or rewriting the executor's expression evaluation? No. Does that mean that they should totally bypass all of the review and discussion that we do for other patches? No. -- 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
