I'm sure everybody has their own favorite feature. But I can say quite 
confidently that the upcoming release contains the most number of highly 
anticipated features ever. Nested transaction, 2-phase commit, Windows 
port... I mean these are all major stuffs. They are paving the way of 
deployments of Postgres in new areas and applications. Plus don't forget 
all the other sweet goodies like autovacuum and PITR.

But the next release could also be the buggies version ever, due to the 
number of these new features. :-)
