I am not the one you need to convince :). I honestly don't care that much. I am just trying to help clean up the TODO list. If you want the GNU TLS patch accepted, you should probably start a thread about that problem specifically. Currently, Tom Lane does not like how invasive the patch is. So someone is going to have to convince him this is a good idea or some of the other committers. Sincerely, Joshua D.
