The code is available for public testing right now. Stamping it a
beta implies that we think it's something fairly stable that we'd be
pretty happy to release if things go well, which is a higher bar to
clear.
I can't help noticing for all the drumbeat of "let's release 9.5 beta
now", activity to clean up the items on this list seems quite
sluggish:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_9.5_Open_Items
I've seen Tom and a few other people doing some work that I would
describe as useful pre-beta stabilization, but I think there is a good
bit more that could be done, and that list is a good starting point.
I hope to have time to do some myself, but right now I am busy trying
to stabilize 9.3, along with Alvaro, Noah, Andres, and Thomas Munro,
and PGCon is coming up in just over a week. I think we could afford
to give ourselves at least until a few weeks following PGCon to tidy
up.
I do agree that an indefinite development freeze with unclear
parameters for resuming development and unclear goals is a bad plan.
But I think giving ourselves a little more time to, say, turn the
buildfarm consistently green, and, say, fix the known but
currently-unfixed multixact bugs, and, say, fix the known bugs in 9.5
features is a good plan, and I hope you and others will support it.
