Better to revert than lose a community that is invested in your ecosystem that starts looking elsewhere. I congratulate the team in acknowledging and doing the right thing. As a developer myself, I know it is a painful thing to do but important to listen to the community.

Agreed. People using Postgres aren’t there for the next feature release. We want to see development continue but not at the expense of stability. This is a very mature team and I’m glad they shared this.

As an engineer, this revert post is such a positive signal of appropriate stewardship. Devs know how painful it is to build and refine something only for it to be flushed.

Congrats on the team for putting stability ahead of features for such an important codebase.

I think maintainers here listened to their gut feeling and trusted their experience.

On top of that I think this is actually great FLOSS news, knowing how many commercial products have sacrificed proper professional programming on the altar of shareholder expectations.
