I agree that fixing the first two before beta is a necessary thing.
I'm not convinced the other two are beta blockers. We should not have
a mindset of "there must be no known bugs in beta1"; we want to
parallelize not serialize this process, so that testing has to be able
to happen concurrently with fixing non-blocker bugs. I'd say that
anything that isn't going to require an initdb to fix, and that most
testers are unlikely to hit, ought not be a blocker.

I already promised to deal with the first one, and you are indicating
willingness to deal with the second, so I think we have the blockers
covered.
