You are totally wrong, I didn't it, especial called somebody "old".
Perhaps you think like this because I wrote next:

In this context under "younger" I mean different experience are getting now
a new generation of developers. They don't know "news", "mailists", "bbc",
"fidonet", "IRC", "perl", "C" and true terminals, but they know "github",
"python", "C++", "Java", "gitter", "discord", "JS".
It's all this not a bad it's just obvious difference. Even more, I think
"old" experience better, but all this experience dictates development
styles and tools.

I agree, I know it but also I still think change build process really need
for Postgres community for growing. At now, I can't see "no thanks".

Because, I agree with this obvious things and not understand how it tied

Sorry for that.
