Looking over this thread, I see that it was moved from pgsql-docs to
pgsql-hackers while at the same time dropping the original poster from
the Cc list. That seems rather unfortunate. I suspect there's a pretty
good chance that Phil Eaton hasn't seen any of the replies other than
the first one from Paul Jungwirth, which is also the only one that
didn't ask for anything to be changed.

Re-adding Phil. Phil, you should have a look over
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CAByiw%2Br%2BCS-ojBDP7Dm%3D9YeOLkZTXVnBmOe_ajK%3Den8C_zB3_g%40mail.gmail.com
and respond to the various emails and probably update the patch
somehow. Note that feature freeze is in 2 weeks, so if we can't reach
agreement on what is to be done here soon, this will have to wait for
the next cycle, or later.
