Release schedule

Looking over the list of open items, it seems we are on target for a
November 1 release.  I think that is the date Marc had in mind, and it
looks like we are in good shape, assuming I can fix the "vacuum crash"
item.

I don't think we can release without the 'ps' args fix, and we can't
turn that off because it caused by the fork() removal I did long ago.
