It seems that we have full consensus about the following Open Items
not being material for 8.4, so I'm going to move them to the TODO
list or Commitfest 2009-First as appropriate:
* Change behavior of statement-level triggers for inheritance cases?
No patch, no interest in making it happen for 8.4 -> TODO
* PQinitSSL broken in some use cases
Arguably a bug, but Merlin was one of the instigators; since he's not
happy with where we are, it should be postponed.
* postgresql.conf: patch to have ParseConfigFile report all parsing errors, then bail
Not ready, and submitted very long past feature freeze -> commitfest
* small but useful patches for text search
Also submitted too late -> commitfest
* Have \d show child tables that inherit from the specified parent
Ditto. (The other \d issues relate to already-made 8.4 changes,
though, so they still need consideration; or else an explicit
decision that the current behavior is OK.)
