Postgres 19 is late, and it's AI's fault

I guess the real challenge is figuring out how to scale verification, cause discovery isn't the bottleneck anymore. Generating more bug reports doesn't necessarily translate into faster fixes if the same small group of maintainers still have to validate the reports, review fixes, etc.

Probably true if development accelerates because of AI, but if it's reasonably stable then hopefully new bug reports will plateau.

Then just have the same AI bug checks for new PRs and automatically reject any that fail.

Isn’t that what everyone is doing with CodeRabbit?

No, is it necessary?
