I wouldn't say pg_migrator is "endorsed". It is on pgfoundry and was
mentioned in the press release, but it isn't mentioned in our
documentation about upgrading, it wasn't mentioned in the release notes,
and it isn't mentioned on our web site, except as a news item.

I believe this is because of concerns about pg_migrator's "experimental"
nature.
