Yes, the bigger problem is people running our most recent stable release
not matching the current CVS sources. I think early beta is the time to
do this next time. That has the fewest patches crossing over time. In
7.1, we had the WAL patches still being worked on until near the end,
but once Tom put that mega-patch in last week, we could have done it
then.
