I agree. I think it is unlikely we will have anything ready to commit
for Streaming Replication or Hot Standby for the next commit-fest in
mid-September, and if we go for a 3-CF (commit fest) release, that gives
us only one final CF to get those features accepted, again unlikely. We
are either going to need to go to a 4-CF release, change the way we are
developing these patches, or both to get either in 8.5.
