This is pretty much exactly how I see it. *Hot standby is not ready*,
and committing it into 8.4 isn't going to magically make that better.
The earliest we are going to have a HS feature that I would trust my
data to is probably ten-twelve months off. The decision we need to
make now is whether that release will be called 8.4 or 8.5; in the
former case meaning that all the stuff already in 8.4 will not reach
users' hands for close to a year more.
