Yeah.  I did not want to press for reverting, because it seemed clear
to me that there was no way that this feature would ever get in if we
insisted that it be 100% right when committed.  My idea of "good enough"
kept moving the more I looked at the patch, though, and it's still
moving --- now I think that we really need to fix the lack of preloaded
pg_collation entries for Windows, and then get in a regression test that
runs everywhere.  So if you want to call that feature creep, go ahead.
        regards, tom lane
