Well, I thought we could just revert the patch until you had time to
deal with it, and then put it back in. That seemed like a simple and
practical option from here, and I don't think I quite understand why
you and Tom don't like it. I don't have a problem with deferring to
the majority will here, but I would sort of like to understand the
reason for the majority will.
BTW, if need be, I can look for an EnterpriseDB resource to work on
this. It won't likely be me, though.
