Who is this "they"? As I think I suggested in another mail, if you
think this is trivial and easy then I think you should propose the
patch to solve it. I understand what you're saying; I think the
solution is self-evident (add a statement trigger that captures
TRUNCATE and DO INSTEAD NOTHING), so I just wouldn't be bothered to
fix this. But I suspect things are the way they are partly because
nobody proposed or implemented a patch for this behaviour before.
The manual is also quite clear in what statements you can
write rules about; by implication, other statements are not covered,
so I'm not actually sure why you think the manual is misleading.
Best regards,
A
