Carved in stone

This was said by me on IRC today:

  • You say ‘ignoring a large user base’ as if there is something wrong with that.
  • PostgreSQL has a long history of not catering to the masses. This is what makes it such a great tool.
  • Only well thought out and well conceived features go into PostgreSQL.

And someone else said: those 3 statements should be carved to stone :)

Done.

Later, I added:

  • Features get added because the *coder* wants to do them. And the coder doesn’t get to do them unless the rest of the team thinks it is being done well.
