Hu? So you suggest version specific admin tools? *scratch head*
Just for curiosity:
pgAdmin CVS currently has 80 version checked pieces of code to support
7.3/7.4/8.0, and the vast majority is about version specific CREATE
options, i.e. DDL commands, not for querying system catalogs. I remember
only a single occurrence when a system catalog change had an impact on
pgAdmin's usability (dropped datpath).

And the restriction to current user owned objects reduces usability to zero.
