Comment(by robe):

 Paul,

 Do you realistically think you will get to this in a one month time frame?
 It's a nice to have feature, but given that there are so many loose what-
 if ends, I'd just assume punt this to the future.

 I still have hopes of making the PostgreSQL 9.1 cut or close to it so we
 are not stuck with a lot of people running 1.5 on 9.1. To me that means we
 really got to focus on the nindex and underlying structural changes you
 have even if it means forgoing everything else. I thought about what strk
 said about what about a 1.6.  Honestly with all the raster and 3D stuff
 we've got going already, I think it would be a farce to call it a 1.6 even
 if it does mean that people can do a soft upgrade.  I also feel that if we
 release a 1.6 with all these features, much fewer people will care to
 upgrade to PostGIS 2.0 when we finally release it which would be a real
 shame.
