Perhaps the submission itself? From the first paragraph:

"While past major releases have been quite conservative in their scope, this release shows a bold new desire to provide facilities that every new and existing user of PostgreSQL will embrace."




The intent was not to speak to the development process per se, but the roadmap for Postgres.


I think you misunderstand me I don't mean to imply that the Postgres developers have decided to be sloppier in their development practices or anything like that. When I say 'less conservative in development' I mean that scope is an aspect of development. When a project's scope increases, so does it's workload and complexity; a development team can either allocate more resources and time to the project or let quality slide. This is a truism and I mean no slight to the Postgres people who, in my experience have consistently delivered a very stable project to date and may very well be able to handle a broader scope with no loss in quality.
