FWIW I think its a given you probably always want the latest version
of X or Y. I mean what happens when Safe 2.26 comes out and fixes
more issues? We blacklist 2.25? Seems like a PITA. Why not just
have something in the docs about keeping your stuff up2date?
That being said I would be in favor of at least saying "Hey! your
using a known broken version of Safe". Maybe something like the below
at pl_perl init time? (That is instead of requiring >v2.25 just
complain about older versions)
elog(WARNING, "Safe versions before 2.25 have known issues. Please
consider upgrading.");
Thoughts?
