As a general check, I'd like to raise the topic of Window 8 and
Windows Server 2012 support.

PostgreSQL 9.2 will be released in next few weeks/months, since we are
now at release candidate stage.

Can I confirm that both Microsoft and PostgreSQL community thinks
Windows 8/Server 2012 is fully supported?

I can't see build farm members running either of those relases, and
there's been no further comments on this issue here. Is somebody doing
private testing on behalf of the community?

Should we be mentioning Windows8 and Server 2012 support in our
release notes? It seems like it could be "a feature", or at very least
it will be a popular question. OTOH, we don't mention "tuned for the
Linux 3 kernel", but then perhaps we should be doing that as well...
