Is the headline true at all? It was punted to the next commitfest on 2/1. It could easily keep getting punted like it has been for a ~year now.

Is it that hard to implement? Supporting an additional UUID version in PostgreSQL sounds like the most trivial change to implement (compared to anything that touches core backend, table management, replication, query schedulling, and so on).

The UUID spec update has not been finalized yet.

It would be quite unfortunate to end up with a UUID v7 in PostgreSQL that’s not quite the standardized one because the patch got merged too quickly.

EDIT: here is the IETF working group page https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/uuidrev/about/

Their milestone seems to submit the final proposal by March.

The patch is already written, it's on that page. The bottleneck in Postgres is reviewer bandwidth which is why it's been moved out of several commitfests.
