If wishes were fishes...  Shouldn't we see what interesting features
actually _do_ make it in?

If Win32 support does get ready, and we get recursive queries (I'll
point out different TODO items :-)) and Slony-1, PITR, and cache
improvements make it in, then perhaps it's time to call it 8.0.  A
"cvs update -Pd" doesn't get me that yet, so it seems early.

I'd _almost_ buy the story that 7.4 should have been called 8.0,
although that _didn't_ happen because it 'just missed' PITR and Win32.

The amusing approach would be to jump straight to 8.1 :-).
