The reverts will continue until morale improves

Better to revert than lose a community that is invested in your ecosystem that starts looking elsewhere. I congratulate the team in acknowledging and doing the right thing. As a developer myself, I know it is a painful thing to do but important to listen to the community.

Reverts kind of suck when it's your feature getting reverted, no doubt. But for something as foundational as Postgres, the more reverts the better...

I’m not sure I like the headline.

A bunch of features that made it to beta turned out not to be in a state that could be made satisfactory for release time and so was reverted.

That seems to me to be the right thing to do. Unfortunate, but the right thing to do.

“[something] will continue until morale improves” is usually a sacastic dig at tone deaf and incompetent leadership (e.g, “firing will continue until morale improves”)

I don’t think that is fair to say here.

I don’t get the meaning of the article subject.

This is a strong endorsement of postgres; it shows they take quality control seriously.

> as far as I can tell, this situation is not due to “vibe coding”. This code was written well before that was a possibility.

Since people refuse to read things on HN, I might as well bubble up this particular bullet point.

is it really necessary to keep using new version of postgres and to keep developing them? is it not done at this point?
