A comment on Postgres 19 is late, and it's AI's fault.

Not specific re Postgres, just a general observation:

A pattern I'm seeing w/ companies and projects not used to continuous delivery (or at least shorter release cycles) is that they are slipping in schedules more now.

I think in the current environment it makes a lot of sense to re-think how often releases get cut and how to handle security related updates.

When you do only one or a few releases per year everything is 'higher' stakes and more bureaucratic.

Speaking of impressions and feelings (which are bollocks at the at of the day) - I don't feel like MS has slowed down, and nor does Apple

I can't imagine how absolutely batshit a codebase like postgres would end up if they started feature-flagging everything to make continuous delivery possible.
