Don't know if I count, but I've noticed a number of things that people
are working on that require initdb's and I think they'd be nice to allow
in 8.1 unless the 8.1 cycle is *very* short. I'd also like to get group
ownership & roles in soon, if possible (and if I find enough time to
finish and properly test it).
