8.0.0 was only just released, so attention is focused for now on
whatever falls out as early returns...

It's early for the future work to be overly clear.

Things that look like "hot topics" include:
a) 2 Phase Commit
b) Replacing ARC

There is a considerable list of items that people would like to
do/have done:

Fix %n$ format string argument placement in

Actually, there is that, but I also believe that Jan(?) thinks he's come
up with a better algorithm for PostgreSQL, but that is PostgreSQL-specific
in its benefits ...

Also add NetBSD and BSD/OS to that. It turns out %1$ isn't part of the
C99 standard but was introduced by the Single Unix Specification (SUS).

I am posting a patch now on this.
