    [$] The PostgreSQL community debates ALTER SYSTEM

    Description:
    Sometimes the smallest patches create the biggest discussions. A case in
    point would be the process by which the PostgreSQL community not a group normally prone to extended, strongly worded megathreads resolved the
    question of
    whether to merge a brief patch adding a new configuration parameter. Sometimes, a proposal that looks like a security patch is not, in
    fact, intended to be a security patch, but getting that point across can be difficult.
