Well, we have to use some objective criteria, rather than one person's
decision. I would say we are one month past feature freeze, and have
not received a patch to review, and you have asked repeatedly. That is
enough of a basis to reject this feature for 8.2. Removed from open
items list.

OK, same criteria. Removed.

Added.

Well, I think the difference is that they are new items, rather than
something pre-August 1 (or bugs), but I figure we could throw them in if
it wasn't risky. Added to list.

Both added.

This may be too little too late, but I have time to work on the bitmap
index patch and fix the API issues. I'm familiar with the index am API
and I can see the issues with the patch as it stands.

If it's definitely too late for 8.2, I'd like to get it into CVS as soon
as possible after the 8.2 release. Jie and/or Gavin, could you send the
latest version of the patch to the list in any case? Do you want help
with the patch, or would I be stepping on your toes?
