I think this is (in part at least) a reflection of the economy finally 
picking up. Last year this time I had one major project going on -- 
right now I'm juggling about a half dozen or so, any one of which could 
keep me busy full time. Add a couple of OSCON presentations to prepare, 
and several serial disasters/distractions at home (nothing life 
threatening, but all time consuming), and that leaves little-to-no time 
for recreational Postgres coding :(

This is very true. But the fact that I have been able to commit what 
little I have done this release has at least off-loaded some work from 
you Bruce, hasn't it? I'm still green enough though that I'm not in a 
position to review anything too complex -- someone like Tom or Bruce 
would still need to follow up behind me, so it wouldn't really save them 
any time.
