We need a better way of taking these decisions than just black/white
yes/no. It makes the decision more taxing than it needs to be.

Can't we have a trial branch where quarantined patches can be placed

Plus. if we have extensions, why does adding a function need to force
an initdb?? Why don't we use our own infrastructure?
