Hi everyone,

Thinking about the numbering further.

Would it be cool to decide on the version numbering of our next release
like this:

+ If it looks like we'll have Win32 and/or PITR recovery in time for
the next release, we call it PostgreSQL 8.0

+ If not, we call it 7.4

Win32 and PITR are great big features that will take us a long way to
the goal of Enterprise suitability. They're worth making some specific
marketing/branding efforts about and making a big fuss, that why I'd
like to see them in an 8.0 release.

Sound feasible?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
