Cool. PostgreSQL is one of the few projects where I've always
recommended upgrading and keeping on the latest major version as soon
as possible after it comes out. This stands in stark contrast to
apache 2.0, which was out for over two years before it was worth the
effort to migrate to. The improvements just weren't worth the effort
to upgrade. I've seen enough performance and capability in each major
version of pgsql to make it worth the upgrade since 7.0 came out. I
think we've skipped one or two short releases, like 7.1 or 8.2, but
in general even those represented useful gains over previous versions.
