Yeah there is ... In the first place it's unfair to other developers to make schedule slips at the last moment, and especially to *plan* to do so. I would prefer we determine at least two weeks, preferably a month, in advance whether there is going to be a schedule change. I think it's entirely appropriate to decide now whether we are going to hold to June 1 feature freeze or slip it. That gives other people a chance to do useful work while we approach the deadline. In the second, any Win32 issues that remain unresolved as of June 1 are likely to be major enough (in terms of code impact) that we can't realistically contemplate slipping in post-beta patches for them. The fallback position is going to have to be no (supported) Win32 port in 7.5, not "we'll fix this in beta". regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
