Simon certainly made a heroic try at it, and I give him full marks for
that. But HS was obviously not ready on 1 November. The point I was
trying to make was that if SEPostgres had not been there, we'd have
probably said on 1 November "sorry, this has to wait for 8.5". As it
was, we let him carry on trying to get the patch to a committable state.

And of course all these things feed on each other --- when it's obvious
that there is no immediate deadline, it's easy to let things slide a
bit further.
