I don't think that's at issue here. No one was suggesting that we'd force an *end* to beta cycle because of schedule issues. We ship when we're satisfied and not before. I'm saying that I want to try to *start* the beta test period on-time, rather than letting the almost-beta state drag on for months --- which we did in each of the last two cycles. Development time is productive, and beta-test time is productive, but we're-trying-to-start-beta time is not very productive ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
