As of today we are three months behind the original plan for 8.4.0 release. In a one-year release cycle that's already pretty bad slip; but there now seems no chance of a release happening in less than a month, and if we continue to let things drift it could easily stretch to five or six months' slip. Given the slow pace of bug reports there is no reason to be waiting. We need to refocus our energy on getting the release out.
The main thing that needs to happen now is to deal with the open items listed at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_8.4_Open_Items either by fixing them or by agreeing that it's okay to let them slide to 8.5 or beyond. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
