Agreed.
I just caution that we appreciate PGCon coming up and that we do our best to avoid running into a case where we have to push it further due to everyone being at the conference.
If we plan it, we certainly *can* make a release during pgcon. If that's what the reasonable timing comes down to, I think getting these fixes out definitely has to be considered more important than the conference, so a few of us will just have to take a break...
