This is a really short list. Several of these items have already been
fixed, and others have been discussed extensively and are just a
question of making a final decision. The thorniest question we have
yet to resolve is what to do about max_standby_delay - I think we need
Tom and Heikki to review this patch by Simon:

The real question in terms of release, I think, is how long we want to
wait for more bugs to be found, and/or how much time do we want to
allow for Tom and others to do further review of the code.
