Speaking of which, we love Postgresql, but I am concerned about the fact
that major upgrades require unloading and reloading the database. We are
small enough now, so it is not really a concern. I cannot imagine this
happening with really large database clusters (>50-100gigs).

I know for minor releases, there are upgrade programs to let this happen in
place. Is there any plan for not always having to load and reload in the
future?
