The open source development model is "scratch your itch". Stuff gets developed because people have problems and solve them. Apparently nobody has a sufficiently large itch to both scratch it and submit the result to the project. The main difference between a project like this and a commercial product is that here there are no product managers defining roadmaps and writing requirements, but people bring solutions to problems *they* face or find interesting. So, if this is a thing you really care about: do a git checkout and start hacking. "Patches welcome". And you're not being vilified. Your communication style is a tad, um, abrasive, and sometimes hard to deal with. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
