We went through a very similar situation with the JDBC driver a release
ago. A number of people had developed fixes or features for the driver
and no one was collecting them. We've got those people working on the 7.2
branch and everything worked out well. Yes, this meant that the features
and fixes were not immediately available in the 7.1 branch. But the
alternative of forking pgaccess now is that the available fixes and
features will not be available in the 7.3 branch for quite a while.
