We don't have a Windows native version, and it sounds like it'll be
awhile before we have an offered set of patches to review. I think
making any release schedule plans on the basis of (ahem) vaporware
patches is a bit foolhardy.

The "quick 7.4" plan was based on the assumption that PITR and Windows
patches would both be available almost immediately. If that doesn't
come to pass then I see no reason not to go with a normal-length
development cycle.
