Hmm, the problem here, is that the patch is an accurate transcription of a
slide in the talk (seen at the timepoint at that URL - no need to scrub at all)

 should either add ibid. or edit brackets, or ...?

The first is a case difference/alternate transcription. Stonebraker's list of
publications does support the first two changes.

The last, in particular, is wrong: I find 1993 vintage email threads (on GRASS)
w/ a sigblock:

-Boris Livshitz
 Postgres Group
 UC-Berkeley, Computer Science

Yeah, probably:

As reported by Dr. Michael Stonebraker, 2014 ACM A.M. Turing Lecture,
delivered June 13, 2015 (amended):


Amended attached.
