[$] The PostgreSQL community debates ALTER SYSTEM

Date:
Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:18:48 +0000

Description:
Sometimes the smallest patches create the biggest discussions.  A case in
point would be the process by which the PostgreSQL community  not a group
normally prone to extended, strongly worded megathreads  resolved the 
question of
whether to merge a brief patch adding a new configuration parameter. 
Sometimes, a proposal that looks like a security patch is not, in
fact, intended to be a security patch, but getting that point across can be
difficult.
