Feature request.
How about if PostgreSQL periodically check for updates on the
internet and log WARNINGs as soon as it sees it's not running
the newest minor version for a branch. Ideally, it could
be set so the time-of-day's configurable to avoid setting off
pagers in the middle of the night.
I might not lurk on the mailinglists enough to notice every
dot release; but I sure would notice if pagers went off with
warnings in the log files from production servers.
Is that a possible TODO?
(The thread started on the performance mailing lists but
I moved it to general since it drifted off topic).
