Still means "not a blocker" in my book.

pgFincore, great as it is:

a) might not be ready for contrib in 9.2
b) isn't supported on all platforms
c) isn't necessarily safe in production (I've crashed Linux with Fincore
in the recent past).

As such, I see no reason why pgprewarm and pgfincore in contrib should
block each other, either way.
