The only preexisting issues listed under "Blockers for 9.2" are "GiST indexes
vs fuzzy comparisons used by geometric types" and "Should we fix tuple limit
handling, or redefine 9.x behavior as correct?". Also, I'm not sure what
exactly the "keepalives" item indicates. Whether every regression deserves to
block the release is, of course, a separate question.

I think "WAL files which were restored from the archive are archived again" is
the thorniest regression, and we don't yet have a patch.
