I think SCRAM authentication is a major feature. I would argue for
adding Andres's executor speedups and Amit's hash index work, too, but
I realize we can't list everything. I'm slightly surprised that
quorum commit for synchronous replication ended up ahead of either of
those; surely that's a pretty niche feature compared to making the
executor faster? But I just work here.
