Well, if it gets punted, I won't be too sad, since the pg_dump patch
to actually use this functionality for something useful already got
pushed off.  If you can commit something in a timely fashion that is
also high quality, great, but if not, I don't see it as a
show-stopper.  The highest priorities IMO are writeable CTEs and
synchronous replication.  I doubt that there would be majority support
for prolonging this on the basis of any other single patch, though I
might be wrong about that.
