Who does now? As far as I know, PLs or contrib files *aren't* tested by
the regression tests, so, at best, they are getting 'spotty testing' right
now when we release ... we know they build, that's it. And that won't
change before/after ... Andrew is looking to add PL testing to the build
farm, something that isn't done now ...

Again, how are they sure now?
If you are referring to my thought to include stuff like JDBC or libpqxx,
then as I've already stated, it will be their responsibility to work with
us if they want to be included ... if we are ready to release 8.1, and
they don't set down a 8.1 tag that we can 'pull from', they won't be
included in that release ... we're not going to chase them down ...
