The idea of the above is not to track when it is done. THe "confirmed"
is to track that development is taking place and that we have confirmed
from the developer that they think it will be done for 8.2.

It is something that in theory would update throughout the cycle 3 or 4
times. You could even have:

Make postmater and postgres options distinct so the postmaster -o
option is no longer needed | PeterE | Confirmed for 8.2 | 04/20/06

Make postmater and postgres options distinct so the postmaster -o
option is no longer needed | PeterE | Trouble encountered | 06/20/06

Make postmater and postgres options distinct so the postmaster -o
option is no longer needed | PeterE | Asks for help | 08/20/06

Make postmater and postgres options distinct so the postmaster -o
option is no longer needed | Alvaro | Confirmed | 09/20/06

Notice the sequence of events. I am not saying the specific statuses are
the way to go but it would give a simple way to keep tabs on things
without having to create a whole new ball of yarn.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
