I'm personally kind of astonished that we're even thinking about beta so soon. I mean, we at least need to go through the stuff listed here, I think: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.5_Open_Items The bigger issue is: what's NOT on that list that should be? I think we need to devote some cycles to figuring that out, and I sure haven't had any this week. In any case, I think the negative PR that we're going to get from not getting this multixact stuff taken care of is going to far outweigh any positive PR from getting 9.5beta1 out a little sooner, especially if 9.5beta1 is bug-ridden because we gave it no time to settle. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
