Ok, if we know that to be the case then that's fine with me (and I'd
generally prefer it myself though I'm not terribly picky). So then:

From: Committer Stephen Frost <noreply(at)postgresql(dot)org>

discussion? I'd be happy to help test out what ends up happening with
$whomever's MUA that we think might be impacted.
