Hmm, I'm not sure why would PGDG want to accept such a thing.  I read
"minimize changes" as "open source Postgres can keep their crap
implementation and companies will offer good ones for a fee".  I'd
rather have something that can give users direct benefit -- not hide it
behind proprietary licenses forcing each company to implement their own
performant toaster.
