I think the best person to answer that is Simon. He got a small reprieve the last time this discussion came up, but it's 'put up or shut up time'...time's up. Is the thing ready to go? While i'm 'pro HS', I'm also very much 'pro get 8.4 out asap'. I think both _may_ be possible. This is probably horribly optimistic. What I can do however is offer to summarize my own experiences testing and invite others to do the same. I'd also like to see Simon and or Heikki make a strong statement on where things stand _right now_ (not in two weeks) :-) merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
