Both I and other people have already addressed #2 and #3. You're also
having a huge failure of perspective here. Motivating reviewers allows
our project to continue developing PostgreSQL. Items 2 and 3 are so
insignificant in comparison to that as to not be worth discussing.

In the novels The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, there's a spaceship
which has been waiting 1000 years to take off because it's waiting for a
load of lemon-soaked paper napkins to be loaded. You are being Mr.
Lemon-Soaked Paper Napkin.
