Bruce, just about everyone seems to disagree with your current approach. And
not just this year, this has been a discussion in most if not all release note
threads of the last few years.

People, including me, *have* addressed your criteria, but you just waved those
concerns away. It's hard to continue discussing criteria when it doesn't at
all feel like a conversation.

In the end, these are patches to the source code, I don't think you can just
wave away widespread disagreement with your changes. That's not how we do
postgres development.
