Incremental Update: Commit Intent Announced, No New Technical Content
The two new messages are brief procedural exchanges with no new technical arguments, patches, or design discussion.
- Jeff Davis (May 14, 2026) announces intent to commit the revert patch soon.
- Andres Freund (May 14, 2026) acknowledges with thanks and adds a minor reinforcing note: beyond instrumentability, removing the
-1sentinel branches is likely also a runtime performance win ("adding all those branches can't be particularly good"). This is a new framing but not a deeply developed argument — it's a passing observation that aligns with the already-accepted decision.
No new patches, no new participants, no position changes. The thread appears to be converging on imminent commit.
