More details
PostGIS Topology will go prime time with version 2.0 of the spatial database extension.
A Geometry to TopoGeometry converter would be the easiest way for users to get to full speed with the new support.
The new function will need to be squeezed in before end of December, or won't make it into 2.0 and will have to wait months before coming out.

Comments on this pledge
See http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/1017 for details.
You can now start testing it.
Nightly built documentation is here:

There's a lot of room for optimization so be aware about feeding it big geometries. Avoid batch processing of whole tables in a single transaction or you'd loose the advantage of incremental population this function introduces.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the effort so far.
Looking forward to spend some time on the optimization side and to more signers honoring their commitment.
