Well sorry but that is ridiculous. Either the community (or more 
specifically core) chooses to use it upfront or not. I think it is a 
complete waste of time and energy to expect someone to put in all that 
effort just to have the community give them the finger.

This isn't something that is going to serve the person who loose all the 
sleep to configure and maintain it. It is something that is going to 
help the PostgreSQL community has a whole, to grow in a reasonably 
organized and hopefully less painful way.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
