From looking at the Github page, it looks like you are applying a number of
patches to PostgreSQL. Is that correct?

The reason I ask is that when EDB first started publishing the installers
for postgresql.org, the agreement with the core team members present at the
meeting was that we would be publishing pure, unmodified PostgreSQL.

EDB never deviated from that policy (despite occasionally wanting to), and
I don't think the community should change it now - if a
fix/feature/whatever isn't in the PostgreSQL tarball, then it shouldn't be
in what are advertised as endorsed "official" builds offered for download.

For clarity, opinions are my own, and not necessarily those of EDB.
