Hopefully not.  I'd like to see us get back on a reasonably short
release cycle, like every six months or less --- the last couple
major release cycles have been painfully long.

So, maybe beta around Aug-Sep?

Not speaking on behalf of core here; we haven't discussed release
schedule at all yet.  Just my personal $0.02.

A quick glimpse shows not.  I have a personal todo item to fix
relhaspkey, which isn't implemented either.  Feel free to fix this 
one if it bugs you.  (Note: it might be harder than it looks; think
about race conditions when different backends are adding/dropping
keys concurrently.)

Code beautification efforts are always worthwhile IMHO.
