Really? How? I thought views were done using rules under the hood?

Also, it'd be awfully nice if, in case rules are going away, the
documentation actually said prominently in the rules section, "Rules
are deprecated and are planned to be removed at some point in the
future." Right now, anyone coming to Postgres for the first time
could easily understand the manual to say that Postgres has this cool
feature on which they can rely.

Best,
