Depends on the goal. If our goal is to continue to add confusion to the
masses of users we have, you are correct. If our goal is to simplify the
ability for a user to accurately understand the version of PostgreSQL
they are running, then you are wrong.

I was under the impression that the project guideline was that we only
accepted context diffs?

I would be curious to the benefit of putting it in core. I have no
problem with the type but in core?

If you want a full environment with projects, SCM integration etc... I
would suggest Eclipse.
That said, if you can get a handle on VI/VIM or (joe :P) you will

Again, test it. Generally speaking the number of child tables directly
correlates to planning time. Most experience that 60-100 tables is

It all depends on actual implementation
