Kevin said "It has become clear that the scope of problems being found now exceed what I can be sure of being able to fix in time to make for a stable release, in spite of the heroic efforts Thomas has been putting in". I think it's clear that Kevin is willing to put in some work. The issue is that he is unable to *guarantee* that he'll be able to put in *sufficient* time, and in light of that concedes that it might be best to revert and revisit for Postgres 11. He is being cautious, and does not want to *risk* unduly holding up the release. That was my understanding, at least. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
