Might this be the time to add an "open items for 8.4" page to the wiki?
(I'm just assuming we'll do it on the wiki and not in Bruce's mailbox
this time) I notice Greg put it on the project-specific wiki page around
GUC, but we should probably collect these things at a central location
as well.. If we want to do that, we should just ask our wiki-gurus to
create some nice templates I think :-)
