It has never been standard practice to ask for comments before the
development of small features, such as this one. The recently duplicated
work on allowing multiple "-t" and "-n" options in pg_dump is another
example (although that is complex enough an RFC might be worth doing).
Anyway, I think this is missing the point. Checking "has this work
already been done and is sitting in some patch queue somewhere?" before
doing anything presupposes the existence of a sizeable queue of
unapplied patches that is hard to find. I don't think either of those
should be true. I think Matthias' comment is well-founded: the
committers, myself included, deserve some blame for not making more
rapid progress on the queue of unapplied patches for 8.1. In the
meanwhile, the queue should be easier for folks to find (why is the
"pgpatches" queue the only one linked from postgresql.org, but it is
almost empty?)
