Okay, but EDB is the largest corporate contributor to Postgres, and one of the people pushing against the feature (Bruce Momjian) also works for EDB?

The PG community is a lot of things, but I think “dominated by commercial interests” is not one of them.

Disclosure: I work at EDB :)

I wanted to clarify that I (Jelte, the author of the final patch) work at Microsoft. So, it's definitely not just one company seeing benefit in this feature. Arguably Microsoft is a cloud company too though, but honestly most of the active contributors to PostgreSQL work at a "cloud company".
