If, as you suggest, ARC is too immature to go in, then I presume that
would also imply that "global consensus" should also be that:
a) PITR is much too immature to put in;
b) Win32 is way too immature to put in;
c) NT is way too immature, as well;
d) Tablespaces are way too immature to be included.
Which eliminates all of the big, interesting reasons to upgrade to
7.5.
Or is ARC the only thing you regard as a misfeature? Interesting that
it was put into 7.5 _early_ in the process, so that everyone that has
lately touched the betas would be getting bitten pretty heavily if it
was laden with bugs...
