FWIW, the alpha release manager may also vary the release timeline of

I'm hoping that the alpha release manager can wait until Wednesday,

queue. Maybe that gets all done on Tuesday, maybe it slips to Wednesday or later.  It's not like a bell goes off
tomorrowand we're done; there's probably going to be just a little slip here.<br /><br /> In any case, it's certainly
notthe case that this is all done right now such that the alpha gets packed on Tuesday just because it's the 15th.  It
soundslike the worst case is that alpha would have to wait a day for Hot Standby to be finally committed, which seems
wellworth doing if it means HS gets that much more testing on it.  It would be a help to eliminate the merge conflict
issuesfor the Streaming Replication team by giving them only one code base to worry about merges against.  And on the
PRside, announcing HS as hitting core and available in the alpha is huge.<br /><br /><pre class="moz-signature"
