It's funny that this news showed up just as we (Xata) have gone the other direction, citing also changes due to AI: https://xata.io/blog/open-source-postgres-branching-copy-on-...

We did consider arguments in both directions (e.g. easier to recreate the code, agents can understand better how it works), but I honestly think the security argument goes for open source: the OSS projects will get more scrutiny faster, which means bugs won't linger around.

Time will tell, I am in the open source camp, though.

Just wanted to appreciate the open-source work by Xata. I’ve been eyeing pgroll [1] for schema migrations after Liquibase license shenanigans (the only barrier for me is json-based migration instead of sql-based migrations)
