Gah, I'd skipped this thread, because I was OK, if not happy, about the
original modest proposal (trimming to supported versions). My fault.
For the record: I think this is a terrible idea. Makes it much harder to
figure out what changed when, and requires per-branch incantations to
grep through the log. That's not to speak of the fact that now it's
just about impossible to reference all releasenotes on the website in a
useful manner now.
For crying out loud, super prominent and often referenced URLs like
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/release-10.html
are now broken, and soon URLs like
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/release-10.html
will be too.
I don't understand how this can be considered a good idea.
Greetings,
Andres Freund
