PostgreSQL 19 GA Slips to November After LLM-Assisted Reviews Surface ~40 Defects, 8-10 Features Reverted Including SQL/PGQ

Summary

PostgreSQL 19's GA has moved from late September to ~November 19 after LLM-assisted code review surfaced roughly 40 defect reports late in the beta cycle. Committer Peter Eisentraut (EDB) says the tooling raised quality standards mid-cycle on patches written before LLM review became effective — forcing 8-10 feature reverts including SQL Property Graph Queries (SQL/PGQ), many likely to land in PG 20. Reverts split between major architectural defects and long-tail edge-case bugs human reviewers would have missed.
