Actually it was the "Automatic adjustment of bgwriter_lru_maxpages" patch
from Itagaki Takahiro I've been working on--which, by the way, Bruce sent
out a note about the other day saying was already booted into 8.4. I've
integrated a part of the LRU patch usefully into the new pg_stat_bgwriter,
renamed some variables around accordingly, cleanup I felt had to preceed
performance testing. Heikki might want to wait for me to finish that
before putting time into it. The buffer allocation monitoring part would
be useful to apply even if the GUC and behavior changes are deemed outside
of the 8.3 scope.

Also, I think I was the most vocal participant in the "COPY-able sql log
outputs" feature discussion and therefore was planning to do what review
what I can of the final patch API immediately afterwards. I try not to
complain about things unless I'm willing to help fix them.
