NO!
Your input and code-contribution to the FK project was far too important. In fact, without you FK would
have been implemented fundamentally wrong. So I would miss you on -hackers.

It's not wat I want at least.
Back to the roots. Thomas, from my personal PoV, is a little too much after "do it in the grammar if possible at
all".But he's the core member to take care about compliance and the like. Hackers (like me) tend to let go
withsomething that works, but it's him to assure the parsers future is great, wide open. Finally it's the
mixturein the core team that makes Postgres successful, so I'm happy with Thomas having a sharp eye on it.
In the actual case, we need to see what can be done until 7.0 release. If we cannot produce a clean solution
during the next weeks, I'm sure that "backward compatibility" has the higher weight than avoiding my crude hack
into the parser (it'll stay for one release only anyway).
What I suggest is, take it as it is. We use to have a friendly and nice ground noise in our mailing lists.
So this kind of discussion, tending to become flame wars, should be taken off list at least (IMHO avoided at all,
butI'm farest the last person to judge).
