Could I request we change these dates slightly to
PostgreSQL 8.1 February 2011
PostgreSQL 8.2 February 2012
with absolutely no intention to extend the support window any worthwhile amount.
That way we have
* A regular pattern of de-release, so everybody is clearer, i.e.
PostgreSQL 8.1 February 2011
PostgreSQL 8.2 February 2012
PostgreSQL 8.3 February 2013
* We don't have de-support right at Thanksgiving or Christmas, since
people may do panic-stricken upgrades.
I much prefer February as a time for panic, if that choice is available,
which I realise it may not be.
