I've an in progress (er, stalled ATM) attempt to squash a bug
in ALTER TABLE RENAME, where the args to referenced in function
calls are updtead to reflect the new name[1]. There is also the
outstanding resolution to David Ford's libpq EINTR issues[2], on which
I agree with your assessment of handling EINTR the same as EINPROGRESS
for connect(), though [AFAICT] David has not confirmed that your
proposed solution solves his problem.
I'll do my best to get a patch to the list tonight for the ALTER
TABLE RENAME fixes. If I don't wrap this up tonight, it will be
next weekend before I'll have time to dive back in. I don't consider
this pending work any reason to hold up any beta2/rc1 scheduling,
since the change is very localized, but this fix should be in before
7.2 is released.
cheers, Brent
