Well, I would sure like to see a beta out sooner than that.  I don't
think we necessarily have to resolve every known open issue before
we put out beta1.  I believe we do need to resolve anything that would
force initdb (such as Peter's bytea_agg change), and of course we need
to write release notes so that beta testers know what to test.

At the same time, I'd like to light a fire under people to deal with
the open issues.  I agree that it will take some time for all of
them to get dealt with, but it doesn't help if the responsible hackers
are procrastinating.
