I think that at least 1 & 2 from WAL todo (checkpoints and port to
machines without TAS) is required before beta. As well as more testing...
Did anyone else test WAL recovery?
Sorry guys but I can't do both testing and coding at the same time.
WAL is the most complex thing I've ever did in project.
MVCC was just child's game.

Tom & Bruce are in summit anyway - let's wait them. And I'll do 1 & 2 in
a few days.

I'm not sure that you do need to add support for machines without TAS.
I pointed out a couple months ago that the non-TAS support code hasn't
even compiled for the past release or three, and proposed ripping it
all out rather than fixing code that clearly isn't being used.
No one objected.

I haven't got round to doing the ripping yet, but as far as I know
there is no reason to expend work on adding more code for the non-TAS
case.

I have a few other things I still need to do before 7.1 beta.  Do you
think you'll be ready in, say, a week?

Oh, it's great! Thanks!
