Unfortunately, I think that's because people haven't been testing. At my keynote at the PostgreSQL Fall Conference yesterday, I asked the audience of 63 people how many had built 8.3 beta and tried to run something on it ... 3. And these are our enthusiasts.

For me, I ran into a CC compile issues on Solaris (diagnosing now) and haven't got much further on testing it there, although Jignesh is already into performance testing. Worked fine for demo purposes on OSX.4, though, and I was able to import some old databases (Staffos, TPCE) without unexpected issues.

Of course I would like to do a short beta, but I think we need to harass people to test more.
