I agree we need to extend, and not wait until any longer to do it. We have people at the NYC conference and I don't want their memory of the conference being that they were stressed trying to work on closing the commit fest --- that could lead to bad memories and them declining future conference attendance. If that delays our final release for a week, it is worth it. I propose we go for a week delay in closing the commit fest, and we decide right now. Ideally I like to to see delay in one-week increments _and_ announce that a week before each deadline. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
