Open 7.3 items

As you can see, the open items list is greatly shrunk. We have two
weeks to go and most of these seems do-able, except for point-in-time
recovery, which may not make it. I haven't heard anything recently on
it.

Would someone put together a porting document for schema changes and
drop column changes?
