I've never used an OS that upgraded major versions of pg midstream.
I.e. going from ubuntu 8.04 to 9.10 yeah maybe. Going from one update
to the next of 8.04 no way. What OS have you seen this happen in ?
Note that it's still a good idea to put things like kernels and pgsql
into the exclude catagories in the yum conf.
