AFAIR, you told me "it'll be done this weekend" last week. And the week before. In any case, it's going to be a large complicated patch, and if I spend all next week reviewing it then I won't make any progress on the other items on my to-do list. At some point we have to say "this has slipped too far, we have to hold it over for 8.3". regards, tom lane
