I think we should consider postponing beta4. I count eleven
non-documentation, 9.0-specific bug fix on REL9_0_STABLE, but there
are currently five items on the open 9.0 issues list, at least one of
which appears to be a new bug in 9.0, and we just got a bug report on
pgsql-bugs from Valentine Gogichashvili complaining of what looks to
be a crasher in the redo path for heap_xlog_update(). It seems
unlikely at this point that we can have all of these issues fixed and
still have time for a full buildfarm cycle before the wrap. Does it
make sense to put out a beta with known bugs (presumably requiring
another beta) at this point, or should we push this off a bit?
