Core hasn't discussed 8.5 schedule since the discussions that Peter
summarized in the message you cited above. I share your concern that
"release in time for PGCon" isn't very realistic if we don't get more
aggressive about schedule. On the other hand, we didn't get all that
much done in this fest. If we cut back to a three-fest schedule
I think we may succeed in releasing 8.5 early, but only because there
is nothing interesting in it :-(. Dunno where the right balance is.
