My opinion is that this is awfully long for a list of major features.
But Tom said 10 or so was typical, so perhaps I am all wet.
Still, this kind of seems like a laundry list to me. I'd argue for
cutting range types, extended statistics, SEARCH / CYCLE, TOAST, and
emergency mode vacuum. They're all nice, and I'm glad we have them,
but they're also things that only people who are deeply steeped in
PostgreSQL already seem likely to appreciate. Better scalability, less
bloat, working OUT parameters, and query pipelining have benefits
anyone can understand.
