Well, the only stuff left on the pending-patches page is documentation
issues and the question of what to do about tsearch contrib modules;
neither of those seem to be beta-stoppers, especially not when we have
no commitment from Oleg and Teodor about when they might do something
towards the proposed new module.

I'm not happy with taking still another week's slip for no reason.
If there's some specific task that should be done and we have a
commitment from someone to get it done by a particular time, then
okay, but otherwise it's past time to push this puppy out the door.

Right, that's traditionally a late-in-beta item.
