As noted on that other thread I don't think that's a good policy, and it
seems like Robert agrees with me. So I think we should move this back to
"Needs Review".

I also agree. Andres and I spoke at PostgresOpen and persuaded me, I've just been away.

Am happy to review and commit in next few days/weeks, once I catch up on the thread.
