+1, LOL.

Let's not forget that we've already got CTE, window functions, partial
vacuums, and column-level permissions, all of which are major features
that should benefit a lot of people.  I hope Hot Standby gets
committed but even if it doesn't, I'm still going to get a lot of
benefit out of this release, so I'd like it to happen on some sort of
reasonable time scale.
