The way I read the discussion, there is no consensus for getting this into PG12, but there does seem to be one for PG13.
I'll push this to the first post-PG12 CF when one appears. Can we just go ahead and create a 2019-07 CF now? I know we generally discuss this at PGCon, but we can always rename it, right?
We can, I guess. Are you saying you're likely to forget? :P
For 12, it would probably be good to have a more clear deprecation notice into the documentations. Is that something on your list of things to work on, or should someone else (like, uh, me)?
