That's right.

If I'm counting the votes right, you and Tom have voted that the feature's
current state is okay, and I and Laurenz have voted that it's not okay. I
still hope more people will vote, to avoid dealing with the tie. Daniel,
Peter, and Jeremy, you're all listed as reviewers on commit f69319f. Are you
willing to vote one way or the other on the question in
https://postgr.es/m/20240706195129.fd@rfd.leadboat.com?

A tie would become a decision against the unreleased behavior.

In the event of a decision against the unreleased behavior, reverting the
feature is the remedy that could proceed without further decision making.
