EOL is when?
Our versioning policy
(http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy)
says that we EOL 7.4 and 8.0 "July 2010". Does that mean July 1st or
July 31st?

Probably means one more minor release, and that's it.

Yes, but I care about what actual date we mean. A month is a lot of time :-)

There is no "actual date" as yet. Whenever the next set of minor
releases come out will be the last one for 7.4 and 8.0. We'll keep
back-patching those branches as appropriate up till then.

I think we should have both.
People need an exact date so they can discuss in their organisations the
consequences of not upgrading. Without a date, those discussions become
more complicated because it sounds like our intentions are unclear and
may be subject to change.
