PostgreSQL 19 sees unusually high number of feature reverts
Why it matters for readers: It explains why some promised features disappear late in testing and why open-source projects sometimes backtrack.
- About eight to ten significant features were reverted from the PostgreSQL 19 branch after the beta began.1
- Some reverts happened quite late in the beta period rather than at an early stage.1
- Causes mentioned include code not being good enough, significant architectural defects, and possibly trying to tackle too many hard changes.1
- The author of the post has been directly affected as a developer or committer of some reverted features.1
