The only things I currently want to reject as not having provided a
timely patch are bitmap indexes and updatable views.  The other stuff
I mentioned is in need of review, but I don't currently have a reason
to think it can't get in.

Well, it's taken us the full month to get this far through the queue, so
I'd sure like to have more people on board reviewing next time.  Alvaro
helped but I miss Neil Conway, and some other people have helped in the
past.  However --- the present situation has nothing to do with lack of
reviewers, it's lack of time to finish the patches.
