Well, I assumed that you generated this patch with the intention of
applying it promptly. If it was only a basis for discussion, why'd
you go to the effort of creating a 100K+ patch that will be stale in
a few days? It's certainly not useful to aid the discussion: a ten-line
statement of what you wanted to do would've been more helpful. Who's
going to wade through a 100K patch?

In any case, the correct approach would've been to put up a proposal
on pghackers before doing the work. You *know* this is going to be
controversial. More, if it's not highlighted on pghackers then a
lot of people will fail to get the word and we'll be having trouble
with broken patches for a long time to come.
