"Enough features" is such a judgment call that no one can predict what
the schedule will be, if that's part of the decision.
I had been leaning to May 1 beta, but am happy to switch to June 1 if
you feel that makes an improvement in the odds of completing the Windows
port. (I think it will also improve the odds of finishing this protocol
stuff I've taken on...) I don't want to see it pushed further than that
without good concrete arguments for doing so.
regards, tom lane

FWIW, if we're voting, I'd say:
1. on "firm date" vs "when feature x is ready": I vote "firm date" -- I
know that last August the firm beta start date motivated me to get some
things done that I would have dragged out without the scheduled cutoff.
2. June 1 beta cutoff sounds about right.

There really is no rush...
I'm well-versed in PostgreSQL, and even I haven't upgraded some of our
production servers to even 7.3 yet (thanks to pg_dump dependency
nightmare)..
BTW, so no-one conflicts, I'm doing up pg_get_triggerdef(oid) at the moment.
Once that's done, I'll be able to submit a redone psql \d output that
includes the trigger definition.
Cheers,
Chris
