Judging from the last six months, it's doubtful whether we will ever again not be in the middle of a commitfest :-(. If better tooling might help us escape this state, we should talk about it.

And I think in > general, it's a realliy bad idea to have a tool dictate the workflow. ... if it's going to try to coerce us out of our email-centric habits, then I for one am very much against it. To me, the problems with the existing CF app are precisely that it's not well enough integrated with the email discussions. The way to fix that is not to abandon email (or at least, it's not a way I wish to pursue). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
