Hi,

Completely agree.
Users that don't like or don't need it can pretend there are no
uuid_extract_time() and uuidv7(T) in Postgres. If we don't provide
them however, users that need them will end up writing their own
probably buggy and not compatible implementations. That would be much
worse.

Andrey, many thanks for the updated patch.
LGTM, cfbot is happy and I don't think we have any open items left. So
changing CF entry status back to RfC.
