[DOCS] "Release date" for aborted releases?

2008-06-07 Thread Tom Lane
I am wondering whether to leave the release note pages for 8.3.2, 8.2.8,
etc saying "Release date: 2008-06-09", or to change them to something
like "Never released".  Thoughts?

regards, tom lane

"Never released" sounds better, otherwise people wil find an
inconsistency between release notes and downloadable tarballs

I think a mention in the 8.3.3 notes saying something like "the 8.3.2
version was never released to the public because it contained a bug"
should be enough -- so all release note items should be for 8.3.3.

The implication being that our other releases *don't* contain bugs?

Seems a bit wordy to me, and anyway I just finished committing them
the other way ...

No, the implication being that we learned of this bug and its severity
just before the release was carried out in full.

Just a matter of taste anyway, probably.  I saw an announcements like
that a couple of days ago, which is what prompted my suggestion.
