Gavin says he has patches for tablespaces, Alvaro has submitted patches
already, server-side java is heading into beta, and Heikki has two-phase
commit patches because he already worried about drift. PITR patches
have been submitted too. I wouldn't call them done, but I wouldn't call
them handwaving either.

What we really need is for these folks to start finalizing their patches
and get them submitted.
