By chance I happened to notice in the release notes Release 7.3 Release date: 2002-11-27 Man, it feels like a long time since that came out... There has been some discussion of making a project policy of dropping support for old releases after five years. Should we consider formally instituting that? I see that there are two or three minor bug fixes in the REL7_3_STABLE branch since 7.3.20. Rather than just leaving those to rot, maybe the actual policy should be "only one more update after 8.3 comes out". Comments, opinions? regards, tom lane
