I think we need to do a better job defining exactly what we think the
"must fix" HS/SR issues are. Otherwise I can see this process of
trying to get to beta dragging out almost indefinitely.

That was the bulk of the question, thanks for such a clear answer. I'll
see about giving some time to that, out of the critical path to beta.

Should I follow you on that choice or just send a doc patch with poor
SGML markup?

All,


A user at SFPUG last night pointed out why we should release a beta,
rather than an alpha, sooner rather than later: because there are no
Windows packages for Alphas.

Currently, our Windows users are *not* testing 9.0. Which means we're
just putting off the day when we hear about Windows-specific bugs.

Yes there: http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdevdownload.do

We've produced them since Alpha 2 iirc.

Oh! Most people don't know about these ... I need to advertise them!

BTW, at SFPUG there were reports of some kind of issue with the
One-Click installer for 8.4.3. Is that resolved, or is this the first
time you've heard about it?
