That would depend on timing then. Trying to get people to upgrade to 8.4 is
going to be difficult if they're waiting on Hot Standby, which means less
in-the-field testing of the 8.4 code base until the 8.5 release. Similarly,
if we're looking at a quick 8.5 around September/October (having no commit
fests), that means it will probably be early 2011 for 8.6, which is fairly
unacceptable for the other patches currently in the queue.
