Postgres 19 delayed after AI reviewers find more bugs than humans can fix
Postgres 19 GA slipped from late September or early October to about November 19, 2026, and 8 to 10 features went back to PG20, because LLM-assisted review found more than the beta window could absorb. Eisentraut's example is about 40 reports averaging a three-line fix, each still carrying triage, patch, review, commit and backpatch overhead. PG20 was expected to be bug-fix-only and now inherits the leftovers, so a verifier like VAGEN pays off only if remediation capacity grows to match.
