Обсуждение: Back-branch update releases scheduled

We're really rather overdue for updates of the pre-9.4 back branches,
and 9.4 itself has probably baked for long enough to justify a 9.4.1.
Accordingly, the core committee has agreed to wrap releases the week
after next; that's wrap Mon Feb 2 for public announcement Thu Feb 5.

I hope that gives us enough time to fix the issue in question in the
9.4.0 problem report thread "hung backends stuck in spinlock heavy
endless loop".

The JSON/JSONB escape thing would be nice to fix too, before the
existing behavior becomes too baked into applications.

So let's get on with it.  We're not holding up releases for patches
that may or may not materialize.

I don't disagree. Just pointing out that it's a consideration.
