We need to be thinking more now about such a contingency. Postgres use
in very large installations is now at such a level that requiring a
pg_dump/pg_restore is really not an option for many users. If
pg_migrator is not always going to work then we need to be addressing
that now, or else it is at best a stop-gap. ISTM some sort of page
layout versioning scheme might be at least part of what we'll need in
the medium term.
