Yeah, it's the same old same old --- once again, we've bent over
backwards to try to accommodate large patches at the end of a
development cycle.  I'm not sure that that's ever going to stop,
because every time there are people cheerleading for said patches
and insisting that the release will be so much better if we wait
for them.  Somehow we keep expecting that they'll get fixed and
landed in a short period of time.

A saner policy would mandate that large patches land near the start of
a development cycle, but I don't know how we get people to do that.
        regards, tom lane
