As I was watching this thread go by, the reasons being shown seemed good
to me, and they were being raised by some of the people most responsible
(as one quickly learns by scanning old archives), over the years, for
postgres being the excellent thing that it is, so it would not be my
first instinct to dismiss them.

One of the things I have come to really appreciate about this community
(in which I am still a relative newcomer) is that when disagreements arise,
you can see them being worked through by consideration of technical points
and somewhat measurable principles. In that light, if there's a better
conclusion you think is worth advocating, that would fit right in if done
in ways that respond to, and address in some way, the points already
raised; that adds more to the conversation than just saying they were
not "good".
