I'd say postpone. Adam's replication patches don't change the API, so they aren't an issue for client libraries, but both moving the _view endpoint to within the design doc path, and Damien's changes to the behavior of bulk_docs, will effect client libraries. If we can avoid making a release with APIs that are already deprecated, I think it's worth the wait. Alternatively, we could wait on Damien's branch (as it still requires some testing, and changes CouchDB in a more fundamental way, but one that has less impact on client libraries) but I'd be against doing a release without the design doc resources patch. We've never had a release with show/list, so doing one with a deprecated API places an unnecessary burden on client and application developers, who will probably have to support 0.9.0 for a while.
