[blink] There's been plenty of stuff done all through this development
cycle (and previous ones too). Read the CVS logs if you've forgotten.
Bruce has got some kind of idee fixe that we've accomplished little
during the 7.5 development cycle, but I respectfully disagree. I could
point out the indexability of "WHERE int8col = 42" as just one thing
that is a major step forward in usability. It is true that there are
a few more big-ticket items that seem to be just over the horizon,
but isn't that the usual state of affairs? If we were always willing
to wait "just one more month" for the next almost-done project, we'd
never get a release out at all.
Now having said that, I did just vote in the core discussion to push the
freeze date out a month. But I don't have any patience for the idea
that 7.5 won't be a pretty respectable release if we freeze it Monday
per original plan.
