I think that's true, but not particularly relevant. CTEs are obviously a major feature; a lot of the stuff we've been adding to PL/pgsql is tinkering around the edges.
I agree so almost all last features are not major features - but I don't think so it is wrong (and structured exception is not minor feature). Almost all work is done.
There are only few issues, that should be solved:
* deeper checking embedded SQL
* more robust work with nested types - assign statement
* some support for large and complex projects (support for developer tools like coverage calculation, dependency graphs and assertions)
