This is a good example of how developers can get frustrated. Pushing a
patch to 8.4 that was completed before 8.3 feature freeze is guaranteed
to add to that --- and if we lose our developers, we might as well shut
down the PostgreSQL project.
One good thing is that we have community discussion this now, so at
least we are focusing on it.
