So why do we wait for some of these features? The bgwriter is done
right? Why don't we backport to
7.4.x and release with 7.4.3? What about the vacuum stuff Jan was doing?

I guess what I am saying is, what features are in HEAD that can be
backported to 7.4.x without the
requiring of an initdb?

Yes it would be breaking from the tradition of very little feature
releases in incrementals but then again
maybe that would be a good thing...

Sincerely,
