I agree, sure it will be great to have even more and new features as soon as possible, but not if the quality of the final product decrease. The most important characteristics of postgresql are stability, ,reliability and performance. It just works. We should not forget this. And as others have said, from a DBA and system administrator perspective, maintaining large installations updated in a 6 months release cycle will be a nightmare. We are always 1 year back the main release. We are testing and planing the move to 8.2 now, and it won't happen until desember. In a 6 month cycle we will have to jump over every second release. regards -- Rafael Martinez, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Center for Information Technology Services University of Oslo, Norway PGP Public Key: http://folk.uio.no/rafael/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
