A fix that is beta-quality for a non-serious issue (serious issues being of
the level of the VACUUM/CLOG issue) is, in my mind at least, not for
inclusion into a _stable_ release. Simple fixes (the localtime versus mktime
fix) might be doable, but might not depending upon the particular fix, how
difficult the packport, etc. But 7.2 is considered _stable_ -- and I agree
that this means maintenance mode only. Only the most trivial or the most
serious problems should be tackled here.
