I think it's a bit strange to claim the PostgreSQL community just declined the patch. Just look at the thread on pgsql-hackers list: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/46ED7555-9383-45D2-A5C0-6373BE2FDCB6%40atlassian.com https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/46ED7555-9383-45D... As anarazel already pointed out in the hackernews thread you linked, there's one person who was initially skeptical about the patch, and a couple of people chimed in with feedback (e.g. pointing out some mount options may fix it, which I think is valuable). And then the author of the patch just disappears from the discussion, so the thread kinda gets forgotten for a couple of months. I'm sure PostgreSQL community has its flaws, but I doubt this is a particularly clear example ...
