Yes. What are the rest of us supposed to do for the next two weeks,
twiddle our thumbs?
Personally I've got a couple of days' worth of cleanup tasks before I'd
want to see us cut an alpha anyway, especially if we're going to try
to accept the btree_gist KNNgist patch. Two weeks is too much though.
I'd say that if there's a plausible chance that Sync Rep will be
committable by the end of *this* week (and I mean Friday not Sunday),
I'm willing to wait that long for it. Otherwise, it's 9.2 material.
