It is not irrelevant. This is an Open Source project, not some Dot-Com where
you can float good ideas until you go bankrupt. If there's no possibility
of us getting a major 3rd-party certified battery of QA tests donated, why
bother putting it on the TODO list?
Would it be nice if we had more tests? Yes. In fact, one of the items on my
personal todo list is to devise a more versatile performance test than
pgbench for testing postgresql parameters, builds, and installations. But
it's not getting done by me carping at people on the Hackers list. It'll get
done when I spend a long weekend writing Perl.
Put up or shut up time, Dann.
