Thanks, I hadn't seen that talk and it's a good summary of the issue
and available solutions.

However it doesn't really address the question of a gradual migration
process that can read 32bit ints but insert/update as 64bit bigints. I
remain curious about whether the postgres architecture just makes that
implausible, or if it could be done and just hasn't because the
options for a more manual migration are Good Enough.
