Hi,

Today I noticed the inefficiencies of our dead tuple storage once
again, and started theorizing about a better storage method; which is
when I remembered that this thread exists, and that this thread
already has amazing results.

Are there any plans to get the results of this thread from PoC to committable?

Kind regards,

Matthias van de Meent
