If we didn't do that, then Postgresql never would have been released in
the first place, nor any date between then and now.
There has been, and currently is a ton of known broken, wonky, or
incomplete stuff -- but it's felt that the current version has a lot
more to offer than the previous version, so it's being released.
This works for *all* software. If you never release, nothing gets
better.
I suspect it'll be several more major releases before we begin to
consider it approaching completely functional.
