The reverts will continue until morale improves
Summary
The article analyzes a wave of feature reverts in PostgreSQL 19 during beta, exploring causes from code quality to architectural complexity and the effects of increased review due to LLM-assisted code analysis. It discusses security work during the Vulnpocalypse and suggests possible paths forward, including experimental feature statuses and better testing scaffolding. Overall, it highlights the tension between rapid development and robustness in a large open-source project, with a cautiously optimistic outlook for returning features.
