My company has a product in beta which uses Postgres 7.4.3. We expect
to have a code freeze for our 1.0 product in March 2005. I'd really
like to use Postgres 8.x in our 1.0 product. We're especially looking
forward to the background writer and tablespaces.

Is the 8.0 release date known?

Suppose 8.0 is released in December or January. Is it a sane thing
to put 8.0 in a shipping product within the first two months of its
release? I know that 8.0 is an enormous release, but I'm hoping some
of the old-timers can extrapolate from previous major version
upgrades.
