win32 open item

The open items list for 8.4 has

* problems with Windows global namespace

I propose we move this over to the TODO list instead. We are no worse
off than we are in previous versions, and we've had *zero* bug reports
related to this issue.

Basically, we have a small window of failed protection if a user that
has permissions, manually starts the database engine from two different
terminal server sessions at the same time. Given that AFAIK *every
single* production deployment would be running the server as a service,
is probably why we have had zero reports about it.

The issue that caused the server to not start properly has already been
fixed in both 8.3 and head.

I don't think this is anywhere near important enough to hold up a
release over.

This should be addressed. Andrew C proposed a few different ways to
do it and supplied patches. Pick one and apply it.

defer to 8.5

Agreed. In general, any issue that already exists in released versions
should not be considered a blocker for 8.4. Certainly it wouldn't be
a blocker for beta release.

The 'ssl use cases thing' fits under that umbrella...so defer that
too...maybe we can sneak a doc patch in later...to busy now to worry
about it.
