In an attempt to pre-empt the normally drawn-out discussions about what the next version of PostgreSQL will be numbered. the core team have discussed the issue and following a lenghty debate lasting literally a few minutes decided that the next release shall be....
Wait for it....
9.0.

So, does this mean the next alpha/beta will be named 9.0 too?
