I have these things on my list

* Minor page xid bug fix
* btree delete standby-side derivation of xid
* review of StartupXLog issue, on open items list, has an effect on HS

I expect to be finished with those by Wed, perhaps Thurs.

Some additional open items on SR

* trigger_file no longer supports "fast" mode. There is no way to
startup server quickly if it has fallen behind, as is currently possible
with 8.4

* There should be a default for "trigger_file" so that you can failover
a server even if this has not been specified.

To me the open items look like at least 2 weeks work on SR, given some
of them will likely need discussion rather than just action.
