As you can see from the current open items list, there isn't much left
to do for the 7.1 release. I am going to suggest we remove the LAZY
VACUUM option at this point. I know Tom Lane posted an item about the
join visibility issue, so hopefully this can be resolved soon. Not sure
what to do about the "Stuck spinlocks" but we may have to leave that for
7.2 or see what problem reports we get from the current code.
The documentation list is pretty much done. It would be nice to have
some more items completed, but I haven't see any comments about them.
So, where are we in the release cycle? Are we ready to start looking at
dates to issue release candidates for testing?
Thomas Lockhart needs the docs frozen for a while so he can package
them.
