Is this so even for contrib ?
I seem to remember that there have been new feature popping up in
contrib in stable branches earlier.
But if the general direction is to stabilise contrib as well, what about
committing it as a separate patch file
contrib/tsearch2/patches/compond-words-patch.1 , so that these people
(or german/norvegian linux distributors) who consider lack of support
for compound words a bug can apply it themselves before building ?
