Excellent.  (Well, arguably "unfortunate"!)

It's good, at least, that this matter shouldn't throw up any last minute
"red flags."  I know Devrim has had reason to be irritated at the time of
some past releases.

It really points to the notion that we ought to consider whether or not we
have everything we really desire for a 1.2 release, and start to try to
get that to materialize.

I was really hoping for a move to pgFoundry to be a 1.2 thing; that
doesn't seem to be happening fast :-(.
