Since we're targeting code freeze for beta1 for approximately now + 1
week, it's probably about time to take stock of where we are.

1. All of the SSI patches have been dealt with.
2. The typed tables stuff vs. pg_upgrade still needs work. I would be
just as happy if Tom or Peter wanted to fix this, mostly for fear of
getting flak over the details of the fixes, but if not I will do it.
3. The collation issues that have been discussed on-list have, I
*think*, mostly been dealt with. But maybe there are some broken
things that haven't been discussed yet?

New things:

- There is an outstanding bug-fix patch for PL/python tracebacks,
proof that no patch is too small to require multiple rounds of bug
fixing.
- There are some minor infelicities in the handling of permissions for
foreign tables. Since I committed a chunk of that stuff, I think it
probably falls to me to clean this up, unless someone else wants to
volunteer.

Thoughts?
