If it is possible to get that fixed, I would not mind waiting a bit
more but it would be nice to see some actual proposals. There are
already three identified bugs in psql introduced by this commit,
including the query cancellation.
That's a lot IMO, so my vote would be to discard this feature for now
and revisit it properly in the 15 dev cycle, so as resources are
redirected into more urgent issues (13 open items as of the moment of
writing this email).
