Good question. As far as lines of *.[chy] code in pgsql/src, you have:

--------------+----------+----------------
1994 | | 244,581
1996-08-01 | 1.02.1 |
1996-10-27 | 1.09 | 178,976
1997-01-29 | 6.0 |
1997-06-08 | 6.1 | 200,709
1997-10-02 | 6.2 | 225,848
1998-03-01 | 6.3 | 260,809
1998-10-30 | 6.4 | 297,918
1999-06-09 | 6.5 | 331,278
2000-05-08 | 7.0 | 383,270
2001-04-13 | 7.1 | 410,500
2002-02-04 | 7.2 | 394,274
2002-??-?? | 7.3 | 453,282

As you can see, a 15% increase over 7.2. As far as the feature list,
7.3 has the largest list ever, again about a 15% increase.
