All,

Starting a new thread with an accurate name to see if we can't get
somewhere with this topic.

As was mentioned, this thread doesn't really need a patch but rather
some comment from those who have voiced a -1 on removing the PL source
code column.

In another, perhaps vain, attempt to get to a consensus, here's what it
looks like the current standings are for "Remove source from \df+", to
me:

Peter: -1
Robert: -0
Michael: +0
Alvaro: +1
Jim: +1
Pavel: +1
Rushabh: +1
Stephen: +1
Tom: +1

There have been a number of voices asking that we do *something* here.

In short, I believe Robert's willing to concede to the majority (see:
CA+TgmoaPCBUGF7yTcjmiU=m2Sgo8jaNtnkHmTm1xKoaR5UQgoQ(at)mail(dot)gmail(dot)com), but
we have yet to hear if Peter's stance has changed on this since his July
posts (see: f16571cc-bf6f-53a1-6809-f09f48f0a832(at)2ndquadrant(dot)com) and
that's a remaining full -1 vote.

Apologies if I got this wrong or mis-represented anyone, just trying to
drive towards a consensus on this, so we can move on. Please speak up
if you feel this was an incorrect assessment of your position.

Thanks!
