Ah, ok. Well, I can tell you that the core team is also united on the
value of time-based as opposed to feature-based release cycles. *if* we
can develop this in time for 8.4, everybody would be overjoyed, but I
also think we should be realistic.

That's the idea, yes. No reason to dump asynch WAL copying when it's
already working.
