Then you are mistaken on every single point.

Yes, it is. Most of the patch is docs and GUC changes. The current
patch was specifically designed by me to allow this to be added. One
queue is replaced easily by 3 queues, which essentially touches only 2
places in the current code, sleep and wakeup. And it touches them in
very simple ways. Variable to Array. Easy.

The original patch had all 3 modes side-by-side, all working identically.
There has never been any objection or discussion about that and its
been part of the design for months.
What different approach is there?

v9, submitted on 15 Jan contains this functionality.

We are still applying patches, for various reasons. I must have missed
your objections to Tom's proposals to fix un-neat things about
collations, or his additions to the extensions features. Go say what
you've said here to him as well.

"Something like this". Well given that all of the facts on which
you've based your decision are wrong, I expect you to revise your
decision.
There is nothing about this patch that makes it possible or sensible
to exclude it. You wish to continue to discuss Network timeouts. Why
are they "in" and this "out". Both were submitted as part of my
original patch....
