I found this in the hackers mailing list archive:

Bruce Momjian <pgman@candle.pha.pa.us>                at Technische
Universitaet Muenchen, Germany



Can I ask how our big open items for 7.0 are doing:
       Long tuples/TOAST(Jan)       Foriegn keys/action buffer(Jan)       Unify date/time types(Thomas)       Outer
Joins(Thomas)

I am only asking to know if we should continue with the planned Feb 1
beta?

====================END CLIP.

The problem is that none of the followups mentioned long tuples, so that
might have slipped through the cracks.
