What about a compromise solution: release 8.4 now, then focus on
wrapping up the big ticket items that didn't make it into 8.4 into a
quick (as possible) 8.5 release.  This means no fests.

That would depend on timing then.  Trying to get people to upgrade to 8.4 is going to be difficult if they're waiting on Hot Standby, which means less in-the-field testing of the 8.4 code base until the 8.5 release.  Similarly, if we're looking at a quick 8.5 around September/October (having no commit fests), that means it will probably be early 2011 for 8.6, which is fairly unacceptable for the other patches currently in the queue.
