  Then mainline it?

  The last commit that /postgres/postgres and /orioledb/postgres share (1) is 6 months old for 15.2?

  I mean, this is literally what I'm pointing out in my comment; you're chasing a moving target. Every change postgres makes, you have to merge in check it doesn't conflict, roll out a new patch set...

  ...and, you're already falling behind on it.

  So, going forward, how do you plan to keep up to date...? ...because it looks to me, like a < 2K LOC isn't a fix for this problem; it hasn't solved it for you, as time goes forwards, it will continue not to be a solution to the problem.

  The solution is mainlining those changes --> https://github.com/orioledb/postgres/issues/2

  > Currently the changes needed to Postgres core are less than a 1000 lines of code. Due to the separate development schedules for Postgres and OrioleDB, these changes cannot be unstreamed in time for v.15.

  ^ They were < 1000 lines a year ago, apparently.

  I think you can draw a clear pattern in how this going to go, going forward.
