I think that moving rtree_gist, reindexdb, and/or userlock into core
would have to happen before feature freeze, but the other items
remaining on the to-do list are simply removal of modules, and as such
not bound by feature freeze. Besides, we've always been laxer about the
rules for contrib than for the core system.

It's certainly deprecated in favor of tsearch2 as far as the actual
functionality goes. I think that Josh had suggested preserving it
on pgfoundry more as an example of a nontrivial trigger function.
I wouldn't cry if we just dropped it though.
