I agree with Robert on this. This patch hasn't had *nearly* enough
testing to justify cramming it into 9.2 at this point. AFAIK the
claim of "massive performance gain" is based on a single test case run
by a single person, which doesn't even give me any confidence that it
doesn't break anything, much less that it's a win across the board.
If we want to finish the beta cycle in a reasonable time period and get
back to actual development, we have to refrain from adding more
possibly-destabilizing development work to 9.2. And that is what
this is.
Add it to the upcoming CF, please.
