OK, that is more accurate, but looking at the schedule: 1st November 2008 - final commit fest begins 1st January 2009 - beta 1 1st March 2009 - 8.4.0 release How could we have possibly completed the last commit-fest and gotten ready for beta in two months --- that is just not realistic. I think we anticipated a 2x longer final commit-fest, two months, but there was no time scheduled for actual beta preparation. I think there was some ideal that we wouldn't need any time to prepare for beta and that we would have dealt with all bugs by the time the last commit-fest is complete, but that is illusory. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
