Okay, I'm back on the warpath about this after noting yet another user
who thinks he should use -i mindlessly:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2008-04/msg00111.php
I believe the consensus was
* pg_dump and pg_restore should continue to accept -i/--ignore-version
options, to avoid needlessly breaking existing scripts, but these
switches will become no-ops; the version check will occur anyway.
* pg_dump should be fixed to allow server minor version greater than its
own, but not server major version.
Last chance for objections...
regards, tom lane
