Well, as mentioned in this commit, peeking at a socket before sleeping
is qualified as a kludge, probably not the best long-term approach. I
doubt that a lot of people are motivated to redesign the event vs
socket handling just to make for a better socket implementation of
Postgres on WIN32, and I suspect that relying on Thomas's mage skills
should be good enough. FWIW, I trust his skills, and also I have no
plans to dive into this leel of details for the WIN32 issues; there's
more than enough going on.
Now I don't mind running the revert/revert experiment and see how it
goes, at the condition that we make all the branches more stable as a
starting point. Bypassing these tests on WIN32 is part of the plan
I'd be OK with.
