Yes. We desperately need to spend time on reviewing the stuff that got
crammed in at the last minute --- I think we'd be fools to assume that
there aren't a lot of bugs there.

I think if we spend the next month reviewing what's already in, we could
ship a credible beta before PGCon. And then maybe we could start 9.6
development on 1 July, only a couple weeks late. But if we start focusing
on 9.6 development right now, which is what some current threads seem to
be after, 9.5 is going to be a disaster.
