OK by me. It appears that the open items list is a bit stale:

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.1_Open_Items

The first item listed there is, I believe, fixed. I'm not sure about
the second. You just volunteered to fix the third, and the fourth is
awaiting comments on -bugs. The larger problem is that there are
likely some other things that should be listed there, but aren't. If
anyone is aware of stuff we need to get done, please add it there...
