+1, it seems like this is the cycle for some housecleaning.

FWIW, I am expecting to retire prairiedog once the meson stuff drops.
macOS 10.4 is incapable of running ninja (for lack of <spawn.h>).
While I could keep it working for awhile with the autoconf build system,
I'm not sure I see the point. The hardware is still chugging along,
but I think it'd be more useful to run up-to-date NetBSD or the like
on it.
Having said that, I'll be happy to try out this patch series on
that platform and see if it burps.
regards, tom lane
