We aren't blocking on upstream for these improvements. You're right that it is easy to optimize only the engine builds that are executing via RDS deployments. But getting optimizations upstream as far as possible yields the maximu

From my perspective, we are fortunate to have a lot of customers and tons of feedback on what they want us to build for them. The most effective way for us to help deliver what customers want is to listen directly to their voluntary feedbac

I don't agree, Josh. Certainly not v1 (which, AFAIK, is the only version in use). I doubt v2 could gain broad support either.
