Yes of course - and I'm not criticising or pointing fingers at anyone involved in that project.

It's just that it has been **my experience** that software always has issues - esp. a piece of distributed software
whosefoundation is also v. complex. 

PostgreSQL 10 is at version 19 - the XL project hasn't moved since 10.1 - doesn't inspire confidence in me anyway - and
Ipersonally would be very hesitant about recommending what is, AFAICS, abandon-ware. 

YMMV - with all respect,

SQLP!
