I sent this email on April 16th asking for a status on the big 7.5
features:

Subject: PITR, nested transactions, tablespaces, 2-phase commit: Status request
To: PostgreSQL-development <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Would folks report on the current status of these projects:
o nested transactions (Alvaro Herrera)
o tablespaces (Gavin Sherry)
o PITR (Simon Riggs)
o 2-phase commit (Heikki Linnakangas)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got no replies, except for Simon, I think. Without replies, it is
very hard for us to adjust feature freeze timing for these features.
I should add I have been proposing a longer development period for a
long time because our features are getting more complex.
