It's important to get the *right* interface into the first release
that has it. The day before feature freeze is way too late for
blue-sky design IMHO.
I note that the nominal schedule
http://www.postgresql.org/developer/roadmap
says that all major proposals should have been made and reviewed at
least a month ago. While we're still busy resolving details for a
lot of things, I don't believe there is anything currently under
serious consideration that hadn't at least been talked about before
the beginning of March.
