I am still going through my mailbox, trying to address all the open
patches so we can move toward beta.  Of course, many of the patches I
kept need some adjustment to get applied (e.g. configuration file
location) so it is slow going.

However, we still have PITR unapplied, autovacuum unapplied, and nested
transactions don't have savepoint support, so we are still a while away
from beta.  I think we should start thinking of beta as August 1 rather
than mid-July.

And so we fall into the hole we dig for ourselves with each release, where the beta period takes almost as long as the development period itself ... originally, this was all supposed to be done for June 1st, but we pushed it back to July 1st since ppl only needed "another month" ... then, July 1st, we did the feature freeze, but because so much was left to be applied, we decided to leave bundling first beta until mid-July ...


If six extra weeks hasn't been enough, I have little faith that adding 'yet another 2 weeks' is going to be enough either ... leave them for 7.6 then ...
