Thread: I thought we were changing the name of recvlogical?
I can't find the thread now, but I'm pretty sure that we decided to change the name of pg_recvlogical, because its inconsistent with other client utils? No? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

Then people argued that that's too long and voted for pg_recvlogical. I renamed it even though I didn't particularly like the new name.I fail to see the point in renaming it again. And I haven't seen any concensus for doing so either. Greetings, Andres Freund -- Andres Freund http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

Sorry it was obscure: "There are some who believe that if the universe is ever completely understood, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more incomprehensible.
