So is it firm policy that changes that require a catversion update
cannot be made during the 8.1 cycle?

(Needless to say, it would be good to get this sorted out early on in
the 8.1 development cycle, to avoid the need to revert patches at some
point down the line. For those of us working on large projects that will
definitely require an initdb, it would also be good to know -- as this
policy will likely prevent that work from getting into 8.1)
