I'm looking for known problem areas in btree_gist. I see:
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/8973.1286841006@sss.pgh.pa.us
With Range Types, I'm anticipating that btree_gist will become more
important, so I'd like to know what bugs are holding it back.
So, anything else come to mind? Or does btree_gist just need a good
review? Or have the problems been fixed?
Regards,
Jeff Davis

The thing I was complaining about in the referenced message is specific
to the inet opclass; it's unfair to make it sound like it's a generic
problem with btree_gist. And no, it's not been fixed AFAIK.

Sorry, I thought I remembered a few other comments but couldn't find
them in the archives. I must be mistaken.
