Ah, ok.  Well, I can tell you that the core team is also united on the 
value of time-based as opposed to feature-based release cycles.  *if* we 
can develop this in time for 8.4, everybody would be overjoyed, but I 
also think we should be realistic.

That's the idea, yes. No reason to dump asynch WAL copying when it's 
already working.
