So, speaking of that, aren't we supposed to wrap beta2 any minute now?

There are two open items listed on the open items page as blockers for beta2:

- error in information_schema.element_types view definition (bug 5926)
- more SSI loose ends

We really ought to fix #1, because we've already bumped catversion
since beta1 (several times, actually) and we'd probably like very much
not to do it again before final.

With respect to #2, it would be nice to fix that, but I'm disinclined
to hold up beta2 for it. Kevin and Dan don't seem to have reached
agreement on all the details of the patch, and even if they had, it's
far from obvious that this will be the last SSI related change we'll
need to make. I'd vote for pushing out beta2 even if we can't get
that one in.
