Thread: Typo on 2.3. PostgreSQL

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/history.html
Description:

In https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/history.html#HISTORY-POSTGRESQL,
Chapter 2.3. PostgreSQL is written in first sentence: "By 1996, it became
clear that the name “Postgres95” would not stand the test of time."
I think there should be "the rest of time" instead of "the test of time"

Regards,
Thomas

It's correct as-is --- that's a pretty standard idiom in English.
