Re: How to submit Tsearch V2 ?

I am inclinded to replace /contrib/tsearch with the new version, V2, and
tell people who want to keep the old version to just use the 7.3.X
sources in 7.4.

If we ship both versions in 7.4, we then have to rename tsearch2 to
tsearch in 7.5, and that is pretty confusing.
