I thought we discussed that at pgCon in May and rejected it.

I have very, very serious reservations about it. I think we need to get 
better about proper triage, especially on the final commitfest, rather 
than moving the effective feature freeze back a whole commitfest.

ISTM we're in danger of becoming dominated by procedures. Let's keep it 
light and loose.
