Yeah, but there are already a number of things in 8.4 that are killer
features for various applications --- window functions and WITH to take
two recently-committed examples. Should we sit on those for however
long it will take to make replication release-worthy?
In general, we have always regretted it in the past when we chose to
slip a release waiting for a specific feature...
