After rereading the "Whats new" section of
http://momjian.us/cgi-bin/pgrelease,
I recommend that PostgreSQL 8.2 should get a slogan "the polished release"
PostgreSQL 8.2 - the polished release
as a branding.
Because there are a great number of very important small additions. And as stated by Josh a substantial performance improvement. But I cannot see any single "big point" like the constraint exclusion from 8.1 or the WIN32 runability of 8.0.
And I think that's something PostgreSQL can and should be proud of: it is capable of releaseing a version with a miriad of small, helpfull improvements - without caring of having some "must-switch-elements" like commercial vendors need.
