I think the best time to get it in is a few weeks after the feature
freeze. That way we minimize the impact on any fixes during the
stabilization period. I'm not sure at what point relative to the betas
though; is it better to do it before, so that we have a chance to fix
any possible problems before they hit users, or is it better to do after
beta1, so that patches that we discover need reverting for pg19 have
already had a chance to be so?

So we haven't been totally consistent about it, but mid-May (a couple
weeks before making the new branch) seems like the usual choice.
Makes sense to merge it while the tree is less noisy. Especially right
now might be the most annoying time possible.
