In the end, PostgreSQL is still controlled by those who contribute the
work, so it doesn't matter who's in core and who's not. Your leaving core
would certainly have been the worse "fix". But I'm pleased that this
agreement was at least remembered.
Those who hang around GNU toolchain/build tools development lists may
recall occasional annoyances that design or implementation decisions are
apparently made on Cygnus-internal mailing lists. Even if those cases
might have been unintended in hindsight, this is the sort of stuff that
one needs to be aware of.
