That would essentially commit all the packaged extensions to get
ported to 9.4 in time. Most will probably just work as usual, but
there's always those "special" ones like PL/R or PostGIS which take
longer to port. Do you have a gut feeling how much 9.4's internal
interfaces changed to 9.3, i. e. whether it's realistic to port all
extensions in time?

Otherwise, sounds good to me.

Thanks, and have a good weekend!

Martin
