It's pretty fuzzy. Usually we don't even think about making a release
decision until a couple of months have elapsed, and at that point we
have a somewhat better handle on what sorts of problems beta has been
turning up. I think trying to set release criteria for 9.0 right now
would be premature.
I would say the expectation for individual developers is "test, and
read code". It's certainly not time to be starting new feature
development yet.
As for tracking, historically Bruce has maintained a list of open
items, but I think we ought to move that over to a wiki page.
The existing PostgreSQL_9.0_Open_Items page would serve fine.
