Checksums patch isn't sucking much attention at all but admittedly
there are some people opposed to the patch that want to draw out the
conversation until the patch is rejected, but that's not the same
thing. The main elements of the patch have been working for around 7
weeks by now.
I'm not sure how this topic is even raised here, since the patches are
wholly and completely separate, apart from the minor and irrelevant
point that the patch authors both work for 2ndQuadrant. If that
matters at all, I'll be asking how and why.
