Oh, gimme a break, Josh. A year or more from now that argument would be
relevant, but unless you are going to counsel your customers not to
update till mid-2008, it's completely irrelevant to whether it makes
sense to update now. If you *are* going to tell them to wait until
8.3.4 or so (which I can see an argument for, if you don't like being
an early adopter), won't you then be in exactly the same position that
"8.4 is just around the corner"?
Your other four points are mere rehashings of that one.
regards, tom lane
