Bug reference: 14362
Logged by: Tilo Sloboda
Email address: tilo(dot)sloboda(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.2.6
Operating system: Ubuntu
Description:

We are seeing 8-byte MAC addresses live in the wild and Postgres keeps
throwing errors when trying to save records with 8-byte MACs.

According to the documentation even PG 9.6 does not support 8-byte MAC
addresses, which seems like a major shortcoming.

What is the plan for Postgres to support EUI-64 MACs?
