I can see that Lamar and I are going to have major problems dealing with
users who fall over these problems. There are some things that simply
cannot be handled automatically, such as user-written functions that
return opaque. Then there are issues of ordering; and finally the fact
that we need to use the new pg_dump with the old binaries to get a
useful dump.
It seems to me that I shall have to make the new package such that it
can exist alongside the old one for a time, or else possibly separate
7.3 pg_dump and pg_dumpall into a separate package. It is going to be a
total pain!
