One huge problem is that many features are asking for our attention this
close to freeze date. I spend some time on relative-path installs, and
now there are lots of patches that need to be reviewed and placed into
the queue, and we haven't been giving you enough feedback.

And I am thinking of helping with PITR because there isn't much work to
do except plugging into the backend and GUC.
