I wonder if this libc change means that database indexes may have to
be rebuilt. This:
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createdatabase.html>
suggests âyesâ. Which means that adopting this change as part of a
system glibc update is quite risky.
I have no idea how to communicate this appropriately. Maybe we should
ask the PostgreSQL folks about opinions on this matter.
