I'm unhappy because I know that I will get bug reports that I will have
to deal with. They will take time and effort and would not be necessary
if we had a seamless upgrade path. The more PostgreSQL gets used, the
more it will be used by 'clueless' users; they just install binary
packages and expect them to work. That may currently be an unrealistic
expectation, but I would like it to become a goal of the project. It
has always been my goal as Debian maintainer, but I don't think I can
achieve it for this release.
